Homework Statement
A skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of v = 8.0 m/s, θ = 15.0° above the horizontal, as in the figure. The slope is inclined at 50.0°, and air resistance is negligible. (Assume up and right are positive, and down and left are negative.)
(a) Find the distance from the ramp to where the jumper lands.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
what I am coming up with is
dcos50=(8cos15)t deltaX=Vxi(t)
-dsin50=(8sin15)t+.5(-9.8)t^2 deltaY=Vyt+.5(g)t^2
im stuck at how to solve for d and t. and i have to have this done by 11:30 :-) any helps on cracking this is more than appreciated. i think I am supposed to solve for one of them and then plug it into the other equation but I am not sure how to do that
