Recap - Stunt Ramp
Part of the Mechanics section of Coddy's Physics journey. Lesson 95 of 97.
Challenge
A stunt rider and her motorbike, together, roll from rest down a curved ramp with the engine off, and must leave its edge at to reach the landing platform. Friction and air take of energy on the way down; on the last flat stretch before the edge they push back on the rider with together. The picture shows the rider twice: at the start and on that flat stretch. Draw the forces on the rider on the flat stretch, then find the height of the start above the edge.
