1 Problem Statement And/or Description (1-3 Sentences)
In a particular sports competition motorcyclists have to jump over a canyon that is 30 meters wide. Now, assume that in attempts to jump over the canyon one of the participants decides to lift his motorcycle at an angle of 20 degrees between the edge of the canyon and the air. In other words, the motorcyclist has to close over the canyon by tracing a curve-like path in the air. Figure 1 below is a graphical representation of this scenario. A matter that would of interest in such a scenario is to determine how fast the motorcyclist travels to before landing on the other side of the canyon. On the same note it is important to determine the time it takes to jump over the canyon.
