A physics professor did dare- devil stunts in his spare time. His last stunt was an attempt to jump across a river on a motorcycle (Fig. P3.63). The takeoff ramp was inclined at 53.0°, the river was 40.0 m wide, and the far bank was 15.0 m lower than the top of the ramp. The river itself was 100 m below the ramp. Ignore air resistance.
(a) What should his speed have been at the top of the ramp to have just made it to the edge of the far bank?
(b) If his speed was only half the value found in part (a), where did he land?

Answer:

a) 17.8 m/s

b)28.3 m

Explanation:

Given:

angle A = 53.0°, sinA = 0.8, cosA = 0.6

d = 40.0 m, h = 15.0 m, H = 100 m,

(a) find speed v

vertical displacement -h = v×sinA×t - 0.5gt^2

-15 = 0.8vt - 4.9t^2....... (1)

horizontal displacement d = v×cosA×t = 0.6×v×t

so v×t = d/0.6 = 40/0.6

plug it into (1) and get

-15 = 0.8*40/0.6 - 4.9t^2

t = 3.734 s

v = (40/0.6)/t = 17.8 m/s

(b) If his speed was only half the value found in (a), where did he land?

v = 17.8/2 = 8.9 m/s

vertical displacement = -H = v×sinA×t - gt^2/2

4.9×t^2 - 8.9×0.8×t - 100 = 0

t = 5.30 s

d = v×cosA×t = 28.3 m

(a) The speed at the top of the ramp will be 17.8 m/sec.

(b) He lands at 29.46 meters when the velocity is half of the original value.

What is speed?

Speed is defined as the rate of change of the distance or the height attained. it is a time-based quantity.

it is denoted by u for the initial speed while u for the final speed. its si unit is m/sec.

H = -15 m ( - ve shows upward motion )

g = -9.81 m/sec²

A = 53°

Velocity resolved in two direction

sinA = 0.8

cosA = 0.6

According to Newton's second law of motion

[tex]\rm {H = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2}[/tex]

[tex]\rm {-H = v\;sinAt - \frac{1}{2}gt^2}[/tex]

[tex]\rm {-15= v\;sin53^0 - 4.9t^2}[/tex]

[tex]\rm {-15= 0.8vt- 4.9t^2}[/tex]

Horizontal displacement

[tex]\rm{d = v_x\times t}[/tex]

[tex]\rm{d = vcos\theta\times t}[/tex]

[tex]\rm{d = v cos53^0\times t}[/tex]

[tex]\rm{d = 0.6v t}[/tex]

[tex]vt = \frac{40}{0.6}[/tex]

[tex]\rm {-15= 0.8 \times\frac{40}{0.6} - 4.9t^2}[/tex]

t = 3.74 sec.

[tex]\rm v = \frac{66.46}{3.73}\\\\\rm v = 17.81[/tex] m/sec.

[tex]\rm {y = v_0t - 4.9t^2}[/tex]

[tex]\rm {-100 = 8.9t - 4.9t^2}[/tex]

By solving the equation we get,

t = 5.5 sec

d = vcosA×t

d = 8.9 cos53°×5.5

d = 29.46 m

Hence he lands at 29.46 meters when the velocity is half of the original value.
