A skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of v = 21.0 m/s, θ = 13.0° above the horizontal, as show?
(a) Find the distance from the end of the ramp to where the jumper lands.
m
(b) Find the velocity components just before the landing. (Let the positive x direction be to the right and the positive y direction be up.)
vx = m/s
vy = m/s
Where do i begin?

Try part (b)...
vx = 21 m/s * cos(13°)
vy = 21 m/s * sin(13°)
Good luck!
