Homework Statement
A person decides to jump a canyon. The walls are equally high and 10 meters apart. He takes off by driving a motorcycle up a short ramp sloped at 11 degrees. What minimum speed must he have to clear the canyon?
Homework Equations
I don't know if these are correct or not
(Time in Air)
h= Vyt + 1/2gt[itex]^{2}[/itex]
(distance)
d= Vxt
Vx= Vcos11
Vy= Vsin11
Other Formulas
V[itex]^{2}[/itex]f= V[itex]^{2}[/itex]i + 2ad
The Attempt at a Solution
my sad attempt lol
Vi=?
Vf=?
h=?
d= 10 meters
angel= 11 degrees
g(or a)= 9.8m/s[itex]^{2}[/itex]
(Time in Air)
h= Vyt + 1/2gt[itex]^{2}[/itex]
h= Vsin11t -4.9t[itex]^{2}[/itex]
(Distance)
d= Vxt
10= Vcos11t
Am I thinking this through right? Or am I way off??
