Problem

Downhill projectile * A hill is sloped downward at an angle θ\theta with respect to the horizontal. A projectile of mass mm is fired with speed v0v_0 perpendicular to the hill. When it eventually lands on the hill, let its velocity make an angle β\beta with respect to the horizontal. Which of the quantities θ\theta, mm, v0v_0, and gg does the angle β\beta depend on?
