Answer to Problem 77AP
The speed of the car is
Explanation of Solution
Draw the below figure as per given instruction.
The car has acceleration while it is on the slope and a different acceleration when it is falling. Take the motion apart into two different sections.
A chunk of motion is during the acceleration stays constant. The acceleration will change instantaneously at the brink of the cliff. The velocity and the position must be the same just before point
