Darth Maul has parked his Sith Speeder on a slope of the desert planet Tatooine. The acceleration due to gravity on Tatooine is 6.9 m/sec². Unfortunately, he forgot to apply the parking braket (DOH) The Sith Speeder has mass m 56.0 kg, and it lies on a smooth frictionless surface sand dune that is tilted at an angle - 20.0° to the horizontal. 0 (a) Determine the acceleration of the Sith Speeder as it slides down this inclined plane of sand. 2.36 m/s (down the plane) (b) If the Sith Speeder starts from rest 18.0 m up the plane from its base (Le/ as measured along the plane of the sand dune), what will the speed of it be when it reaches the bottom of the incline? x m/s Enter a number (c) If, at the bottom of the inclined plane, the Sith Speeder smoothly transitions to a level ground with what speed would it be moving after traveling 125m across the frictionles sand? m/sec (d) After traveling across the sand for the 125m, it reaches a cliff (OH NO!) with a height 310 m. Assume the Sith Speeder launches exactly horizontal from the cliff with a speed equal to your answer to part(c), how long will it take for it to land at the bottom of the cliff? 948 sec
