Let the velocity of the man at the topmost point of the slope be v.Now from here projectile motion starts at an angle of 45.
So v2=900.....[as θ=45]
or, v=30.
Now along the incline decelaration=gsin45.
So u2 - v2=2*gsin(45)*80√2.
or, u=50. This is the minimum required speed.
ARKADYUTI BANDYOPADHYAY Is it necessary to take the component of deceleration along the incline? Can't we just calculate the horizontal distance covered (using either sine or cosine to solve for the value of the perpendicular distance and the horizontal distance covered)
