Question

Spectators watch a bicycle stunt rider travel off the end of a 60.0 degree ramp, rise to the top of his trajectory, and at that instant, suddenly push his bike away from him so that he falls vertically straight down, reaching the ground 0.550 seconds later. How far from the rider does the bicycle land if the rider has a mass of M = 72.0 kg and the bike has a mass of m = 12.0 kg? Neglect air resistance and assume the ground is level.
