Homework Statement
A daredevil on a motorcycle leaves the end of a ramp with a speed of 39.5 m/s as in Figure P5.23. If his speed is 38.0 m/s when he reaches the peak of the path, what is the maximum height that he reaches? Ignore friction and air resistance.
Homework Equations
Eo = mgy
Ek = 1/2mv^2
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't even know where to begin. I need someone to cue me on what equation i should be using because frankly I can't even fathom. I thought perhaps Eo=Ek, but I'm not sure if this is it.
