The figure below shows a motorcycle leaving the end of a ramp with a speed of 37.7 m/s and following the curved path shown. At the peak of the path, a maximum height h above the top of the ramp, the motorcycle's speed is 35.5 m/s. What is the maximum height h? Ignore friction and air resistance. (Enter your answer in m.)     A daredevil on a motorcycle is at the end of a ramp that is sloped up to the right. An arrow parallel to the ramp's surface is above the daredevil. A dotted-line path traces the trajectory of the daredevil. The path extends up to the right, initially parallel to the surface of the ramp, and decreases in slope until it reaches a maximum, whereupon it extends down to the right with increasing slope magnitude. The vertical distance between the maximum and the highest point of the ramp is h. A horizontal arrow points to the right above the maximum.

Question
The figure below shows a motorcycle leaving the end of a ramp with a speed of 37.7 m/s and following the curved path shown. At the peak of the path, a maximum height h above the top of the ramp, the motorcycle's speed is 35.5 m/s. What is the maximum height h? Ignore friction and air resistance.

A daredevil on a motorcycle is at the end of a ramp that is sloped up to the right. An arrow parallel to the ramp's surface is above the daredevil. A dotted-line path traces the trajectory of the daredevil. The path extends up to the right, initially parallel to the surface of the ramp, and decreases in slope until it reaches a maximum, whereupon it extends down to the right with increasing slope magnitude. The vertical distance between the maximum and the highest point of the ramp is h. A horizontal arrow points to the right above the maximum.
