Homework Statement
A skateboarder starts up a 1.0--high, 30 ramp at a speed of 7.9 . The skateboard wheels roll without friction. How far from the end of the ramp does the skateboarder touch down?
Homework Equations
x=x0+v0t+.5(a)(t2)
v=v0+at
The Attempt at a Solution
This question seems pretty straight forward and I've found an answer but the website we use says it's wrong. First I found vx=7.9cos(30)=6.84 and vy=7.9sin(30)=3.95. I tried finding maximum y by solving vy=0=-9.8*t1 then t1=.405 and plugging that into y=1.8 then finding t2 when y=0 and y0=1.8 to get t2=.605 so ttotal=1.01 and plugging that into x=6.913
