    How do you find the acceleration needed to clear a jump?

    I see, alright thanks for your help. I it makes sense that this would be impossible since the width of the gap isn't stated so I suppose it could be any number like 5000 km or something ha ha.

    How do you find the acceleration needed to clear a jump?

    So by leaving it as unknown that gives me an equation: 25=vi*t + 0. Now I don't know the time or the velocity how would I solve this?

    How do you find the acceleration needed to clear a jump?

    nope. it would be much easier if I did but the assignment did not provide it.

    How do you find the acceleration needed to clear a jump?

    So I know the length of the ramp and the angle but how exactly do I find the velocity? For part one you mentioned using v cos(θ) to determine how long the car will be in the air but how do I use that formula if I don't know what v (assuming that v means velocity) is?

    How do you find the acceleration needed to clear a jump?

    Homework Statement Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I used Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the ramp (25^2+18^2 = √949) and found the angle of elevation using tangent (Tanθ=18/25) but then got stuck on what formula to use.
