A daredevil is dead set on jumping the Grand Canyon at its narrowest point (180 meters across). He has set up a ramp at 25 degrees and the ramp's release point is 20 meters above the rim of the canyon. He claims that his bike will be going 40m/s by the time he leaves the ramp. A corporate sponsor of the jump offers you a million dollars if you place a target on the other side and he hits your target. Where do you place your target? Other than increasing his speed, what advice would you offer the daredevil to increase his odds of landing the jump safely?
