The drawing shows a skateboarder moving at 7.10 m/s along a horizontal section of a track that is slanted upward by θ = 51.0∘ above the horizontal at its end, which is 0.710 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.
