Homework Statement
The problem says: A motorcycle daredevil is attempting to jump across 10 buses. The takeoff ramp makes an angle theta = 18 degrees above the horizontal, and the landing ramp is identical to the take off ramp. The buses are parked side by side and each bus is 2.74m wide. The cyclist leaves the ramp with a speed of v = 33.0. does he succeed in jumping over the buses? I am not sure how to go about solving this prob. It seems as though I am supposed to assume Yf=0 but i don't think i should?
Now my variables:
Xi : 0
Xf:?
Ax : 0 m/s^2
Vxi : 33.0(cos 18. degrees)
Vxf : 33.0(cos 18. degrees)
t : ?
Yi:0
Yf:?
Ay : ?
Vyf : ?
Vyi : 33.0(sin 18 degrees)
t : ?
