AE mmh After leaving the end of a ski ramp, a ski jumper lands downhill to point that is displaced 51.0 m horizontally from the end of the ramp. His velocity, just before landing, is 23.0 m/s and points in a direction 13.0° below the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance and any lift he expe- riences while airborne, find his initial velocity (magnitude and direction) when he left the end of the ramp. Express the direction as an angle rela- tive to the horizontal.

**Problem:**

After leaving the end of a ski ramp, a ski jumper lands downhill at a point that is displaced 51.0 m horizontally from the end of the ramp. His velocity just before landing is 23.0 m/s and points in a direction 43.0° below the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance and any lift he experiences while airborne, find his initial velocity (magnitude and direction) when he left the end of the ramp. Express the direction as an angle relative to the horizontal.
