A car comes to a bridge during a storm and finds the bridge washed out. The driver must get to the other side, so he decides to try leaping it with his car. The side the car is on is 23.0 m above the river, whereas the opposite side is a mere 2.1 m above the river. The river itself is a raging torrent 52.0 m wide.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

In this question, we are given that

  • The initial height the car is standing, hi=23 m
  • The final height the car has to reach, hf=2.1 m
  • Width of the river, X=52 m

We need to find the speed of the car as it leaves the cliff and the speed of the car before it lands safely. Let us solve these parts one by one.
