Problem: 1. The drawing shows a skateboarder moving at \( 5.23 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \) along a horizontal section of a track that is slanted upward by \( 54.1^{\circ} \) above the horizontal at its end, which is 0.638 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.

The drawing shows a skateboarder moving at 7.40 m/s along a horizontal section of a track that is slanted upward by θ = 49.0° above the horizontal at its end, which is 0.580 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.

The drawing shows a skateboarder moving at 5.4 m/s along a horizontal section of a track that is slanted upward by $48^{\circ}$ 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.
