A car accelerates from rest with an acceleration of \(3.5\,\text{m/s}^2\) for \(10\,\text{s}\). After this, it continues at a constant speed for an unknown amount of time. The driver notices a ramp \(50\,\text{m}\) ahead and takes \(0.6\,\text{s}\) to react. After reacting, the driver hits the brakes, which slow the car with an acceleration of \(7.2\,\text{m/s}^2\). Unfortunately, the driver does not stop in time and goes off the \(3\,\text{m}\) high ramp that is angled at \(27^\circ\). Assume the car leaves the top of the ramp with the speed it has at the end of the \(50\,\text{m}\) (the ramp does not change its speed).
