A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars parked side by side below a horizontal ramp. (Part A) With what minimal speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp? The vertical height of the ramp is 1.5m above the cars and the horizontal distance he must clear in 22m. (answer to part A is 40 m/s) (Part B) If the ramp is now tilted upward, so that "takeoff angle" is 5.0 degrees above the horizontal, what is the new minimum speed?
