Jose can jump vertically 1 meter from his skateboard when it is at rest. When the skateboard is moving horizontally, Jose can jump ____________________. A) no higher.B) appreciably higher.C) somewhat higher.

A) no higher.

To determine how high Jose can jump when the skateboard is moving horizontally, we need to understand the relationship between vertical and horizontal motion. When an object is thrown or jumps while a horizontal motion is present, it follows a parabolic trajectory. This means that the vertical and horizontal motions are independent of each other.

In this case, since Jose can jump vertically 1 meter from his skateboard when it is at rest, this height will remain the same when the skateboard is moving horizontally. Therefore, the answer is "C) somewhat higher." Jose will be able to jump somewhat higher from the moving skateboard compared to when it is at rest, as his forward motion might provide a small boost due to the conservation of momentum.

However, it is important to note that the increase in height will not be significant or appreciable as the horizontal motion does not contribute much to the vertical jump.

C) somewhat higher.
