Physics Kinematics and Mechanics
A helicopter is flying horizontally with a speed of 646 m/s over a hill that slopes upward with a 2% grade (that is, the "rise" is 2% of the "run"). What is the component of the helicopter's velocity perpendicular to the sloping surface of the hill?

Thats mach 2? Is that possible for a helicopter?
A bit of trig will resolve components - have you sketched it?

Yes, but I wasn't sure what values to use as the slope

if you cut a cross section through the hill, it'd be a triangle with the opposite = 2 and adjacent = 100 wouldn't it?
