physics problem

A snow-covered ski slope makes an angle of theta slope = 38.0 degreeree with the horizontal. When a ski jumper plummets onto the hill, a parcel of splashed snow is thrown up to a maximum displacement of 1.90 m at theta snow = 18.0 degreeree from the vertical in the uphill direction as shown in the figure below. Find the component of its maximum displacement parallel to the surface. Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error, m. Find the component of its maximum displacement perpendicular to the surface. Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations, m

Explanation / Answer

The angle the displacement of the snow patch makes with the surface is, 90-38-18 degrees= 56 degrees, because the slope makes an angle 90- 38 with the vertical, and the snow disp makes an angle 18 deg with the vertical. Now the component of this parallel to the slope will be, 1.9 cos 56, and the component perpendicular will be 1.9 sin 56.
