Bart Jumps Springfield Gorge on his skateboard. Springfield Gorge us 50m wide, and Bart has constructed a 1.0 m Hugh ramp inclined at 30° to the horizontal. Air resistance is neglected. Homer had calculated that he can jump the gorge if the ramp is inclined to 45°, and he attains a speed of 20m/s. Will Homer make it? If not, how far short of the other side is he when he drops below the level of the ground?
