The only equations I can really think of are
v = v0 + at
v[SIZE=13px]^2= v0[SIZE=13px]^2 + 2a(x - x0)
But even plugging in the equations I simplified, I can't seem to get anywhere.
I just tried drawing out a rectangle with v0 as the hypotenuse and x and y as their respective sides, and found that y=v0sin(30).
I then tried to stick that into y=y0+v0t−1/2gt^2, but I got lost again once I ended up with v0sin(30)/t +.5gt^2=t
Homework Statement
A motorcyclist wants to jump 20 cars placed side-by-side, making the jump 30m long (coming back to the initial height). Assume that the ramp is placed at an angle of 30 degrees from the horizontal.
a. Calculate the initial velocity required to make the jump.
b. Assuming the...
