2. A stuntman jumps across a river on his motorcycle. The ramp he is using is angled up 53.0° from horizontal. The ravine is 40.0 m wide, and the landing spot on the other side is 15.0 m lower than the top of the ramp. a. What speed does he need at the top of the ramp to barely make it across the river? At what angle will he land? b. 53.0⁰ 100 m 40.0 m 15.0 m
