The skateboarder in the drawing starts down the left side of the ramp with an initial speed of 5.7 m/s. Neglect nonconservative forces, such as friction and air resistance, and find the height h of the highest point reached by the skateboarder on the right side of the ramp.

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

Where, v = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The  height of the highest point reached by the skateboarder on the right side of the ramp is 1.657 m.
