63. The cliff divers of Acapulco push off horizontally from
rock platforms about 35 m above the water, but they must
clear rocky outcrops at water level that extend out into the
water 5.0 m from the base of the cliff directly under their
launch point. See Fig. 3-44. What minimum pushoff speed
is necessary to clear the rocks? How long are they in
the air?
35 m
5.0 m

EL A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over eight cars
parked side by side below a horizontal ramp (Fig. 3-49).
(a) With what minimum speed must he drive off the hori-
zontal ramp? The vertical height of the ramp is 1.5 m
above the cars, and the horizontal distance he must clear
is 20 m. (b) If the ramp is now tilted upward, so that
"takeoff angle" is 10° above the horizontal, what is the
new minimum speed?
0.50 Ma
