A 60.0 kg astronaut is exploring a distant planet in our solar system with their 210 kg rover (car-like vehicle). Together, the astronaut and rover weigh 1026 N. They come across a 2.00 × 102 m wide canyon. There is a natural 6.00-m high rock feature shaped like a 45° ramp. Assume both sides of the canyon are otherwise level.

A 60.0 kg astronaut is exploring a distant planet in our solar system with their 210 kg rover (car-like vehicle).
Together, the astronaut and rover weigh 1026 N.
They come across a 2.00 × 102 m wide canyon. There is a natural 6.00-m high rock feature shaped like a 45°
ramp. Assume both sides of the canyon are otherwise level.
a) How fast must the rover be travelling when the astronaut drives it off the “ramp" to reach the other side?
