A) The skater reaches a maximum height of approximately 1.6 meters on the other side of the ramp.

B) No, his maximum height does not change because the skater's initial velocity and launch angle remain the same each time he goes up the ramp.

C) In order for this to happen, we are ignoring air resistance, friction, and the rotational motion of the skater's body. These forces play a role in the skater's movement, but for the purpose of this analysis, they are being ignored to simplify the calculations.
