In a scene from a television show, a truck rolls down an incline and off a vertical cliff, falling into an ocean below. The truck starts from rest and rolls down the incline, which makes an angle of 22.0° below the horizontal, with a constant acceleration of 3.52 m/s2. After rolling down the incline a distance of 30.0 m, it reaches the edge of the cliff, which is 45.0 m above the ocean. (a) How much time (in s) does it take the truck to fall from the edge of the cliff to the landing point? s (b) At the point where the truck lands in the ocean, how far is it horizontally from the edge of the cliff (in m)? m
