Carlos is on his trail bike, approaching a creek bed

0 comments

Carlos is on his trail bike, approaching a creek bed that is 7 m wide. A ramp with an incline of 10° has been built for daring people who try to jump the creek. Carlos is traveling at his bike’s maximum speed; 40 km/h. 

(a) Should Carlos attempt the jump or emphatically hit the brakes? 

(b) W hat is the minimum speed a bike must have to make this jump?

(Assume equal elevations on either side of the creek.)
