Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 3:**
You toss a snack to your friend on a hike. Your friend is located 8.6 m up a 39° slope. Determine the initial velocity vector the snack must have such that, by the time it reaches your friend, its velocity is entirely horizontal.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The image accompanying the problem shows two hikers on a slope. The first hiker is at the bottom of the slope and is tossing a snack to the second hiker who is positioned higher up the slope. The slope has an angle of 39° with the horizontal. The distance along the slope from the first to the second hiker is 8.6 meters. The snack is shown following a projectile path, reaching the second hiker with horizontal velocity.
