Question

A spot car skids off of a wet mountain at 48.5 m/s and lands in the river, 110 m below the road. How long will it take for the sports car to land in the water

Answer 1

Since the car travelled distance $d = 110m$ with speed $v = 48.5m/s$, the time is:

$$t = \dfrac{d}{v} = \dfrac{110m}{48.5m/s} \approx 2.27s$$

Answer. 2.27 s.
