A Physics Problem: Stunt Car Jump Calculation

Calculating Landing Distance

Distance from the base of the cliff: To find where the car lands, we need to calculate the horizontal displacement. This involves determining the horizontal component of the car's initial velocity, calculating the time it takes to reach the ground, and then finding the displacement using the calculated time.


Calculating Impact Speed

Car's impact speed: The impact speed can be calculated using the principle of energy conservation. This requires considering the car's initial kinetic and potential energy, as well as its final kinetic energy at the point of impact.
