6. A daredevil wants to jump a motorcycle off of a 30° ramp. How much applied force would the engine have to provide to the motorcycle in order in order to give
the bike and rider (combined mass of 250kg) an acceleration of 3.27 m/s2 at the
end of the ramp? The ramp provides a constant frictional force of 1000N.

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
