A car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean on an incline that makes an angle of 24.0 degrees below the horizontal. The negligent driver leaves the car in neutral, and the emergency brakes are defective. the car rolls from rest down the incline with a constant acceleration of 4.0m/s^2 for a distance of 50.0m to the edge of the cliff. the cliff is 30.0m above the ocean.
a. what is the car's position relative to the base of the cliff when the car lands?
b. how long is the car in the air?
this is one of my question for school, and i have no idea what to do.. my attempt was : R=1/2at^2 ; 50.0m=1/2(4.00m/s^2)(t^2); t=5.00s, thus it was on the cliff for 5seconds. now what? i have no clue.. :( any help will be nice..
