Stunt Driver's Car Cliff Jump Calculation
In this scenario, the stunt driver drove the car off a cliff with an initial velocity of 15 m/s, and the surface of the water was 25 m below the cliff. To calculate the time it took for the car to reach the water, we can use the equation of motion:
S = (v + u) / 2 * t
Given that the initial velocity u = 15 m/s and the height S = 25 m, we can substitute the values into the equation:
25 = (0 + 15) / 2 * t
25 = 7.5t
t = 25 / 7.5
t = 3.33 seconds
Therefore, it took the car 3.33 seconds to reach the water after jumping off the cliff.
