Homework Statement
The drawing shows a skateboarder moving at 5.4 m/s along a horizontal section of a track that is slanted upward by 48° above the horizontal at its end, which is 0.40 m above the ground. When she leaves the track, she follows the characteristic path of projectile motion. Ignoring friction and air resistance, find the maximum height H to which she rises above the end of the track.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I felt like my attempt was going well, but i can't seem to get the right answer. So i started out by realizing that Ef=Eo (i think), so KEf+PEf=KEo+PEo. I am just confused as to how i should go about calculating thee final speed, which i think i need to be able to complete the equations for H.
