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. 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).

ANSWER QUICK! 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.

  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).
