A man drives a motorcycle off a horizontal roof to a neighboring rooftop to another building. The second roof is 6 meters lower and 10 meters away. Ignoring air resistance, how long is the motorcycle in the air? What is the minimum initial speed needed to reach the other building? What direction is the man's velocity point relative to the horizontal roof just before he lands? Assume initial speed found in earlier answer
