Answer:
Subtract the kinetic energy at the bottom from the potential energy loss. The remainder becomes frictional heat.
Potential energy loss:
M g H = 21.7*9.81*3.5 = 745.1 J
Kinetic energy at bottom of slide:
= (1/2) M v^2 = 52.5 J
Answer:
C

Jane's mechanical energy at any time is

where

is the potential energy, while

is the kinetic energy.
Initially, Jane is on the ground, so the altitude is h=0 and the potential energy is zero: U=0. She's running with speed v, so she has kinetic energy only:

Then she grabs the vine, and when she reaches the maximum height h, her speed is zero: v=0, and so the kinetic energy becomes zero: K=0. So now her mechanical energy is just potential energy:

But E must be conserved, so the initial kinetic energy must be equal to the final potential energy:

from which we can find h, the maximum height Jane can reach:
