Answer
Horizontal = 3.9m/s$^2$ to the left
Vertical = 1.9 m/s$^2$ down.
Work Step by Step
The problem takes place along a straight line. The starting velocity is 30.6 m/s and the ending velocity is 0 m/s. Use 2.11a to find the acceleration of $-4.37 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$. This is directed downhill, at an angle of 206 degrees from the positive x-axis (180 degrees away from uphill, which is at 26 degrees).
Horizontal acceleration:
$a_{x} = 4.37 \frac{m}{s^{2}}cos 206 ^{\circ} = -3.9 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$
Vertical acceleration:
$a_{y} = 4.37 \frac{m}{s^{2}}sin 206 ^{\circ} = -1.9 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$
