Kinematical Problem {I think}

Two children stand on a large, sloping hillside that can be considered as a plane. The ground is just sufficiently icy that a child would fall and slide downhill with a uniform speed as the result of receiving even the slightest impulse.

For fun, one of the children (leaning against a tree) pushes the other with a horizontal initial speed v0=1m/s. The latter slides down the slope with a velocity that changes in both magnitude and direction. What will be the child’s final speed if air resistance is negligible and the frictional force is independent of the speed?

what is length of the hill slide??? or do we have to give a generalised ans or is the time given neither is the angle??

Initial Velocity is given and friction has no work!! So I think that angle that is given there 'a' has some clue!
