The track for this extreme sport vector cycling racing event was designed so that the BMX riders jump off the slope at 40 from a height of 1.3 m. During a race it was observed that the bike rider remained in the air for 2.0 s as shown in Figure

a. Find the speed, V A at which he was travelling off the slope.

b. Determine the horizontal distance S he travel before striking the ground.

c. Calculate the maximum height, h he attains by neglecting the size of the bike and riders.

d. Solve the magnitude and direction of velocity, V B just before it strikes the ground at B.
