Place the skater at the 8 meter mark on the left side of the ramp, and let him go.
A) How high does he get once he reaches the other side?
B) Does his max height ever change?
C) What force(s) are we ignoring in order for this to happen?
A) The skater reaches a maximum height of approximately 2 meters once he reaches the other side of the ramp.
B) The skater's maximum height does not change during this scenario.
C) The forces that are being ignored in this scenario include air resistance, friction, and any potential loss of energy due to the skater's movements on the ramp.
