Honestly, I am soo confused...And this is the last problem left. If I get it wrong then I'm in trouble. Please help! I don't know what to do at all.
A skier squats low and races down a(n) 11 degrees ski slope. During a 5 second interval, the skier accelerates at 2.3 m/s^2.
(A) What is the horizontal component of the skier's acceleration (perpendicular to the direction of free fall)? Answer in units of m/s^2.
(B) What is the vertical component of the skier's acceleration? Answer in units of m/s^2.
Givens:
11 degree ski slope, 5 seconds interval, acceleration = 2.3 m/s^2.
2. Homework Equations :
No clue what to use :S
All my previous attempts were completely off topic :(
Please can someone do this problem, and show me how it's done?
