Answer is 6 tires.

This is a projectile question.

First make sure units are consistent - express speed in m/s.

20 km/h = 20000m / 3600 s = 5.56 m/s

Assume the takeoff point of the ramp is at ground level (height, h, = 0m). We need to determine how long Joe is in the air, and use that time to calculate the horizontal distance he traveled.

Joe is traveling 5.56 m/s on a ramp angled at 20 degrees. There are vertical and horizontal components to his speed:

Vertical speed = 5.56sin20 = 1.90 m/s
Horizontal speed = 5.56cos20 = 5.22 m/s

An easy way to proceed is to calculate the time it takes for Joe’s vertical speed to reach 0m/s - this represents the time when Joe is at his maximum height and is therefore halfway through the trip. Double whatever time this is to find the total time of the trip. Remember he is decelerating due to gravity:

Time to peak:
a = Δv / Δt
-9.8 = -1.9 / Δt
Δt = 0.19s

Total trip time:
0.19 x 2 = 0.38s

Now that we have the total tome Joe is in the air, we can find the horizontal distance he traveled:

v = d / t
5.22 = d / 0.38
d = 1.98m

Now divide this total distance by the length of an individual tire to find the number of tires he will clear:

1.98 / 0.3 = 6.6 tires

Therefore he can jump 6 tires safely (he will land in the middle of the 7th tire).

Lots of steps I know but just try to think of the situation and keep track of the vertical and horizontal things!

The international system of units is the designated system of units used by scientist in every part of the world to keep data in the same form and measurements, this is to avoid confusion and the need to convert data when being shared. typically described in meters or kilometer over a time form usually seconds or hours.
