Answer:
She will make the jump.
Explanation:
We have equation of motion , , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.
First we will consider horizontal motion of stunt women
Displacement = 77 m, Initial velocity = 28 cos 15 = 27.05 m/s, acceleration = 0
Substituting
So she will cover 77 m in 2.85 seconds
Now considering vertical motion, up direction as positive
Initial velocity = 28 sin 15 = 7.25 m/s, acceleration =acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 , time = 2.85
Substituting
So at time 2.85 stunt women is 10.11 m below from starting position, far side is 25 m lower. So she will be at higher position.
So she will make the jump.
