A skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of 11.4m/s, 16.2 degrees above the horizontal. The slope below is inclined downwards at 53.3 degrees, and air resistance is negligible. Gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. Calculate the distance from the ramp to where the jumper lands (in meters). Calculate the velocity x component just before the landing (in m/s). Calculate the velocity y component just before the landing (in m/s).

Question

Ive read the honor code and it says that their a question can have up to 3 subparts (i.e. part a, b, and c). So please answer all questions.

A skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of 11.4m/s, 16.2 degrees above the horizontal. The slope below is inclined downwards at 53.3 degrees, and air resistance is negligible. Gravity is 9.81 m/s^2.

  1. Calculate the distance from the ramp to where the jumper lands (in meters).
  2. Calculate the velocity x component just before the landing (in m/s).
  3. Calculate the velocity y component just before the landing (in m/s).
