A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 32° ramp, measured from the horizontal, at a speed of 40.0 m/s (144 km/h). The top of the ramp is at the same height as the roofs of the buses and each bus is 20.0 m long. A)How many buses does he clear? B) and how by how many meters does he clear the last bus?
