A 31.0-kg skateboarder rides on a 10.0-kg skateboard at 5.7 m/s on a level road before jumping into air with a speed of 10.0 m/s against the ground in the direction of 27.0◦ above the forward, horizontal direction to leave the skateboard. Ignore air resistance and the friction between the road and skateboard. What is the maximum height that the skateboarder can reach? (A) 1.05 m; (B) 1.25 m; (C) 1.45 m; (D) 1.65 m; (E) 1.85 m. What is the speed of the skateboard on the ground after the jump? (A) 3.85 m/s; (B) 4.05 m/s; (C) 4.25 m/s; (D) 4.45 m/s; (E) 4.65 m/s. What is the minimum work done by the skateboarder to make the jump? (A) 994J; (B) 974J; (C) 954J; (D) 934J; (E) 914J
