A car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean on an incline that makes an angle of 24 degrees bellow the horizontal. The car rolls from rest down the incline with a uniform acceleration of 4.00 m/s^2 for a distance of 50.0 m to the edge of the cliff, which is 30.0 m above the ocean. Find a) the car's position relative to the base of the cliff when the car lands in the ocean and b) the length of time the car is in the air. Thanks!
