Answer:
Highest point reached = 3.37 m
Explanation:
Initial velocity, = 7.1 m/s
Initial vertical velocity = 7.1 sin 61 = 6.21 m/s
Consider the vertical motion of skateboarder,
We have equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as
Initial velocity, u = 6.21 m/s
Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²
Final velocity, v = 0 m/s
Substituting
v² = u² + 2as
0² = 6.21² + 2 x -9.81 x s
s = 1.97 m
So from ramp the position it goes up by 1.97 m
Highest point reached = 1.97 + 1.4 = 3.37 m
