Question

The figure below shows a motorcycle leaving the end of a ramp with a speed of 39.0 m/s and following the curved path shown. At the peak of the path, a maximum height h above the top of the ramp, the motorcycle's speed is 37.1 m/s. What is the maximum height h? Ignore friction and air resistance. (Enter your answer in m.)
_____m

Answer 1

The maximum height h of the curved path is 7.38 m.

Maximum height of the curved path

Apply the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² - 2gh

where;

• v is the final velocity of the motorcycle
• u is initial velocity of the motorcycle
• h is the maximum height

(u² - v²)/2g = h

(39² - 37.1²)/(2 x 9.8) = h

7.38 m = h

Thus, the maximum height h of the curved path is 7.38 m.
