The motorcyclist attempts to jump over a series of cars and trucks and lands smoothly on the other ramp, i.e., such that his velocity is tangent to the ramp at B. Determine the launch speed vA necessary to make the jump.

vA = 11.90 m/s
vA = 11.07 m/s
vA = 16.83 m/s
vA = 15.66 m/s

We can also consider the situation as projectile motion with initial velocity vA and the angle are 30 degrees with the maximum range 25m.

Now use range formula to calculate the value.
