A car is parked on a steep incline overlooking the ocean, where the incline makes an angle
Question:
A car is parked on a steep incline overlooking the ocean, where the incline makes an angle of 37.0° below the horizontal. The negligent driver leaves the car in neutral, and the parking brakes are defective. The car rolls from rest down the incline with a constant acceleration of 4.00 m/s2 , traveling 40.0 m to the edge of a vertical cliff. The cliff is 30.0 m above the ocean.
(a) Find the speed of the car when it reaches the edge of the cliff and the time it takes to get there. m/s s
(b) Find the velocity of the car when it lands in the ocean.
Magnitude | m/s |
Direction | ° (below the horizontal) |
(c) Find the total time the car is in motion. s
(d) Find the position of the car when it lands in the ocean, relative to the base of the cliff.
m (displacement from base of cliff)
