A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars parked side by side below a horizontal ramp (Fig. 3-41).

(a) With what minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp? The vertical height of the ramp is 1.5 m above the cars and the horizontal distance he must clear is 22 m.

(b) If the ramp is now tilted upward, so that "takeoff angle" is 7.0° above the horizontal, what is the new minimum speed?

22 m Must clear this point! -1.5 m
