Question: A physics professor did daredevil stunts in his sparetime. his last stunt was an attempt to jump across a river on a motorcycle. The takeoff ramp was inclined at 53.0", the river was 40.0 m wide and the far bank was 15.0 m lower than the top of the ramp. The river itself was 100 m below the ramp. You can ignore air resistance.

(a) What should his speed have been at the top of the ramp to have just made it to the edge of the far bank?
