A skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of v = 10.0 m/s at = 15.0 above the horizontal as shown in Figure P3.52.

Find (a) the distance from the end of the ramp to where the jumper lands and (b) her velocity components just before the landing. (c) Explain how you think the results might be affected if air resistance were included.
