Homework Statement
Sam (75 kg) takes off up a 50-m-high, 10 degree frictionless slope on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 200 N. He keeps his skis tilted at 10 degrees after becoming airborne. How far does Sam land from the base of the cliff?

The Attempt at a Solution
I drew a free body diagram with Thrust pointing ten degrees out and with gravity pointing down. I set (Fnet)x=max, and solved for ax..which I found to be 2.63 m/s^2. I now have the accelerations of Sam along the x and y axes. I don't have v0, s, or t. How do I solve this problem?
