This is from hcverma na.. i guess someone else also had a trouble

The answer comes short by 5 because the length o fthe car has to be added :)

let it overtake at time t
then 35t/3+10=50t/3

t=2.

this is first part of ques. which i got correct.

next total road distance used =35t/3+5+5
=33.33=33

why to add 5??????????????

with wat minimum speed shud a motorbike be moving on the road to safely cross a 11.7ft wide ditch with approach roads at an angle of 15 degree with the horizontal.assume length of bike is 5 ft and it leaves the road as soon as front part runs out of approach of road.

Range = u2Sin2θ/g
16.7 = u2/2*32
u2 = 32* 33.4
u ≈ 32 ft/sec

The range will 11.7 + 5 ft
+5 sine the bike will be stable only if it cross the pit and lands with the back will also on the road. Since the length is 5 ft you have to add it
