(A illustration shows a ski jumper skiing down a snow-covered slope. The slope makes an angle of θslope with the horizontal. A parcel of snow is thrown upward because of the motion of the ski. The motion vector of the snow is shown to move in the uphill direction at an angle of θsnow to the perpendicular to the horizontal ground.) 1. Find the component of its maximum displacement parallel to the surface. (meters) 2. Find the component of its maximum displacement perpendicular to the surface.
A snow-covered ski slope makes an angle of θslope = 29.0° with the horizontal. When a ski jumper plummets onto the hill, a parcel of splashed snow is thrown up to a maximum displacement of 1.20 m at θsnow = 15.0° from the vertical in the uphill direction as shown in the figure below.
