On January 1, 1968, Evel Knievel attempted to jump the fountains at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, he crashed on the landing and ended up in a coma for a month. However, in 1989, his son Robbie Knievel became the first and only person to successfully make the jump. For the purposes of this problem, we will assume that his take off and landing ramps were both at the same height. His ramp was angled at 11 and he jumped a horizontal distance of 52 m (170 ft). Determine: a) Robbie's velocity as he left the ramp. Give your answer in miles per hour. (1 m/s = 2.2 mph) b) The maximum height Robbie reached above the ramp. a) H=170 9-11 -Vo = zgh-v+ ro = -zghtrt vo = vtign.
