Answer:
The height of the highest point reached by the skateboarder on the right side of the ramp is 1.657 m.
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial speed = 5.7 m/s
We need to calculate the height of the highest point
Using conservation of energy
Gain in potential = loss in kinetic energy
[tex]mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]
[tex]h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}[/tex]
Where, v = initial velocity
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height
Put the value into the formula
[tex]h=\dfrac{(5.7)^2}{2\times9.8}[/tex]
[tex]h=1.657\ m[/tex]
Hence, The height of the highest point reached by the skateboarder on the right side of the ramp is 1.657 m.
