cat of 20 kg mass is running at 8.0 m/s toward a stationary skateboard with a mass of 2 kg. The cat jumps on the skateboard once it reaches it. The skateboard and cat roll forward together without friction until they reach a ramp 30◦ above horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skateboard and the ramp is µk =0.3, what is the maximum height the skateboard can reach?
