Emilie Sannom drives a rocket powered car to an initial speed of 228 mph (102 m/s) before attempting to make a jump of deadlizard canyon on a ramp angled at 42 degrees. Assume that the rocket has burned out when she leaves the ramp. If the canyon is 420 m across and both sides are level, will she be able to make the jump? If so, how far from the edge will she land?

Kylee Hammond · Answer 1

Range = U²sin2theta/g

= 102² * sin (2*42) / 9.8

= 1054.74m

Yes she will be abable to jump

The distance from the edge will be

(1054.74 - 420) m

= 634.74m
