The ~j component of the position vector is a unit vector in the direction straight down the
slope.
The

and directed towards the left of the slope as you look down it.
Both components are measured in metres.

Later in the day, the snowboarder learns how to make jumps. He begins by practicing on a
straight launching pad which is inclined at an angle of 30 to the horizontal snow on which it
rests. The snowboarder is to be towed in a straight line along the snow and up the launching
pad.

On his first attempt, the snowboarder releases the tow just as he reaches the launching pad. At
this point his speed is 7.2m/s. He travels a further 5 metres up the launching pad, decelerating
uniformly before momentarily coming to rest.

lands on the snow below. Whilst airborne, the snowboarder is subject only to gravitational
force with air resistance being negligible. He lands 13.78 metres horizontally from where he
became airborne.
