    How Does a Skier's Launch Angle Affect Their Landing Distance?

    Are you asking for the distance from the jump to the slope? Or the time from the jump to the slope? Either way, you need to set up the equation [13.0 m/s*t*cos(15.0)] (i component) + [13.0 m/s*t*sin(15.0) - 1/2*g*t^2] (j component) You can then solve for time when you divide the scalar portion...
