Stunt boat is driven on surface of lake at aconstant speed

Reference no: EM13646860

A 285-kg stunt boat is driven on the surface of a lake at aconstant speed of 13.5 m/s toward a ramp, which is angled at25.0° above the horizontal. The coefficient of friction betweenthe boat bottom and the ramp’s surface is 0.150, and theraised end of the ramp is 2.00 m above the water surface. (a) Assuming the engines are cut off when the boat hitsthe ramp, what is the speed of the boat as it leaves the ramp?(b) What is the speed of the boat when it strikes thewater again? Neglect any effects due to air resistance.
