Question
Sam (75 kg) takes off up a 50-m-high, 10 frictionless slope on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 200 N. He keeps his skis tilted at 10 after becoming airborne, as shown in FIGURE CP8.66. How far does Sam land from the base of the cliff?
Solution
The first step in solving 8 problem number 93 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Sam (75 kg) takes off up a 50-m-high, 10 frictionless slope on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 200 N. He keeps his skis tilted at 10 after becoming airborne, as shown in FIGURE CP8.66. How far does Sam land from the base of the cliff?
From the textbook chapter Dynamics II: Motion in a Plane you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
