......it doesn't matter whether he is the op or not......his calculation is incomplete but its obvious he has an idea!
Hence you are so good in maths, can you solve question three so that we know your level? Or give us theoretical background answer to the question.
Bear in mind I have just solved it.

Just an explanation, thus it's not even complete. Shows you don't even know what you are talking about.

Number 4 is quite easy too as well.
If you think about this. The total amount spent in the air by the skier is the same as the time taken to slope down(starting from the horizontal position) the whole distance of 50meters.
thus distance gives =1/2 at t^2
Therefore 50=1/2 × gt^2 = 1/2 (9.8 )t^2 =50 solve for t
T= 3.2 seconds

Very easy because time only depends on gravity in this case.
You didn't make use of the coefficient of friction (0.05)?

No1 answer is 3 since 3 raise to power of 6
Is more than 500 than n can take the value 0 1 or 2 it me hyperbole the best in calculation but also think along with that...! It is

You didn't make use of the coefficient of friction (0.05)?
Factoring the coeeficient of friction mean the net force on the skier on the ski jump parallel to the ski jump surface is a combination of the gravitation force and the frictional force,
For simplicity
F(net)= mg (sinθ -μcosθ)

The net work done on the skier as he travels down the jump is W= FL where L is the length of the jump, L=50/sinθ


By the work-energy theorem the skier launches horizontally from the bottom of the jump with a speed
v(=(2gh(1-μcotθ))^2
After the skier launches (and treating the launch point as x,y=0), the horizontal and vertical position of the skier are
and at the moment of impact, (x,y)=(0,0)
x=vt, y=-1/2 (gt)
The landing spot is on the line , so we have a system of equations we can solve for t=3.794 seconds.
v=29.919m/s check attached pictures to see how I solved for v


More detailed calculation using conservation energy. ..

Using the conservation of energy principle, the work done by friction must be equal to the change in the mechanical energy of the system (h = 50m, alpha = 30°),
(1/2mv^2)-mgh=-μmgcosθ(h/sin30)
This implies
v=sqrt (2gh (1-μcot30))
During the fall, using parallel (x axis pointing 'downwards') and perpendicular (y axis pointing 'upwards') axes in respect to the hill, we can write down the variation of y with time as
y=y[size=4pt]0[/size]+vsin30t-(g cos at^2)/2)
Setting y=0 and solving for t(h'=5m)
t=vtana/g (1+sqrt (1+(2gh'/v^2 tana^2)))=3.795

Think you might be as smart as one of these tweens or teens?

Prove it by solving some of the math problems they've solved.
