Max's Stunt Physics Problems

The video tutorial explores a physics problem involving Max, a motorcycle daredevil, who plans to jump over a 30-meter-high wall using a ramp. The tutorial breaks down the problem using kinematics, calculating the velocity components, hang time, horizontal distance, and maximum height of the trajectory. It concludes that Max will successfully clear the wall and land safely.

What is the height of the wall that Max needs to jump over?

• 25 meters

• 35 meters

• 30 meters

• 20 meters

What is the angle of the ramp from which Max takes off?

• 45 degrees

• 50 degrees

• 55 degrees

• 60 degrees

What is the initial velocity of Max as he leaves the ramp?

• 20.5 m/s

• 31.2 m/s

• 17.9 m/s

How do you calculate the X component of Max's velocity?

• 31.2 / cos(55)

• 31.2 * cos(55)
