Homework Statement
(Assume no friction) A car that has a mass of 3970 kg is accelerated from an initial velocity of 0 up a ramp that is 50 meters long (the hypotenuse) and has a height above the ground at the end of the ramp of 10 meters. The velocity of the car at the end of the ramp is 150 km/hr. At the end of the ramp the car flies through the air as a projectile. What is the angle of the ramp in degrees? If the car starts up the ramp at time equal to 0 seconds, how many seconds later does the car hit the ground.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I know I have to solve for the initial velocities in the x and y direction but I honestly have no idea where to start in this problem--if anyone could just tell me a starting point--it'd be much appreciated.
