A motorcyclist attempts to leap a 48-m-wide river gorge. The point where he leaves, the ground is sloped upward at an angle of 15o to the horizontal. The landing point is 5.9 m lower than the takeoff point. (a) What is the minimum speed necessary for the cyclist to clear the jump? (b) If the cyclist exceeds that minimum speed by 50%, how far from the far edge will he land? {25 m/s, 44 m}

with a complete solution A body of mass 2 gr attached to a vertical spring stretches it 1000/4 cm to reach an equilibrium position. When the body moves in the air it experiences a resistance opposite to its movement, proportional to its speed, with a damping constant d = 10 gr/sec. Approximate the acceleration of gravity by g = 1000 c m / s e c 2 . b. Find a differential equation of the form y ′′ = F...
