A car is parked on a cliff overlooking the sea. The cliff is inclined at an angle of 40.0 degrees below the horizontal. The

negligent driver leaves the car in neutral and it begins rolling from rest towards the cliff's edge with an acceleration 5.00
m/s/s. The car moves a linear distance of 70.0 to the edge of the cliff before plunging into the ocean below. The cliff is
50.0 m above the sea. Round everything to 3 significant digits! Use 9.80 for gravity. (hint - because the initial velocity is
down, this causes the cosine rule to flip. Use sin to find Vox. Use cosine to find Viy)

Fact: Parking a car on a cliff? That is unsafe and probably also illegal.
