A motrocycle travels around a curve, leaves the roadway, travels up a small embankment ( 4 foot run, 9 inch rise), went airborne for 62 feet, and then landed 5 feet lower then the point of takeoff ( the small embankment).Do I use a fall formula using up hill take-off, or a vault formula to determine speed at takeoff. Is there a rule to be used to determine which formula.
