Daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 55º ramp leaning on the leftmost bus, revving at a speed of 32.15m/s. How long would the stunt last? How many buses can he clear if the top of the takeoff ramp is at the same height as the bus, 3 m, and the buses are 8.78 m long?

A regulation volleyball court measures L = 18.0 meters in length and d = 2.43 meters in height. A volleyball player hits the ball from a height of h = 1.50 m just over the backline, and the initial velocity of the ball creates an angle of q = 30° with the ground. At what initial speed must the ball be struck such that it barely clears the net?
