One of the great dangers to mountain climbers is an avalanche, in which a large mass of snow and ice breaks loose and goes on an essentially frictionless “ride” down a mountainside on a cushion of compressed air.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .
30.5◦
Ifyouwereona30.5◦slopeandan avalanche started 303 m up the slope, how much time would you have to get out of the way?
I tried to use the summation of the forces equals mass times acceleration formula but that got me 4.973875957 as the acceleration and then I plugged that in to d=Vit+1/2at^2 but that got me the wrong answer I don't know what else to do
