Your friends car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean on an incline that makes an angle of 18.9 (degrees) below the horizontal. The brakes fail, and the car rolls from rest down the incline for a distance of 26.7 m to the edge of the cliff, which is 82.4 m above the ocean, and, unfortunately, continues over the edge and lands in the ocean.
Find the cars position relative to the base of the cliff when the car lands in the ocean.
I'm not quite sure how to attempt this problem
- I think you bust the problem up into 2 parts
- I know you have to find the velocity of the car right before it falls off the cliff. Then from there treat it as a projectile question.
- I also know that I will have to break the problem down into its x and y components
If you could help walk me through this problem it would be much appreciated
- I deff don't want anyone to give a final answers
- just help walk me through the problem step by step so that I can understand what's going on
I just have no clue how to get started or the equations to use
