Identify the given values: The acceleration of the skier down the hill is 1.80 m/s², and the angle of the hill with respect to the horizontal is 30.0°.
Understand the problem: The vertical component of the acceleration is the portion of the skier's acceleration that acts in the vertical direction (perpendicular to the horizontal). This can be determined using trigonometry.
Use the sine function to find the vertical component of the acceleration. The relationship is given by: avertical = atotal ⋅ sin(θ), where atotal is the total acceleration (1.80 m/s²) and θ is the angle of the hill (30.0°).
Substitute the known values into the equation: avertical = 1.80 ⋅ sin(30.0°). Note that the sine of 30.0° is a known trigonometric value.
Simplify the expression to find the vertical component of the acceleration. Ensure the units remain consistent (m/s²).

Acceleration

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. In this context, it refers to the skier's change in speed as she moves down the hill. The acceleration can be influenced by various factors, including gravity, friction, and the incline of the hill.

Intro to Acceleration

Components of Acceleration

When dealing with inclined planes, acceleration can be broken down into components: vertical and horizontal. The vertical component is influenced by gravity and the angle of the incline, while the horizontal component relates to the skier's movement along the slope. Understanding these components is essential for analyzing motion on an incline.

Trigonometric Functions

Trigonometric functions, such as sine and cosine, are used to relate the angles of a triangle to the ratios of its sides. In this scenario, the vertical component of the skier's acceleration can be calculated using the sine function, which helps determine how much of the total acceleration acts in the vertical direction based on the angle of the hill.
