A small child gives a plastic frog a big push at the bottom of a slippery 2.0 meter long, 1.0 meter high ramp, starting it with

a speed of 5.0 m/s. What is the frog's speed as it flies off the top of the ramp?

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Because the ramp is slippery, ignore dynamic friction.
Let m =  the mass of the frog.
g = 9.8 m/s²

The KE (kinetic energy) at the bottom of the ramp is
KE₁ = (1/2)*(m kg)*(5 m/s)² = 12.5 m J

Let v =  the velocity at the top of the ramp.
The KE at the top of the ramp is
KE₂ = (1/2)*m*v²= 0.5 mv² J
The PE (potential energy) at the top of the ramp relative to the bottom is
PE₂ = (m kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(1 m) = 9.8m J

Conservation of energy requires that
KE₁ = KE₂ + PE₂
12.5m = 0.5mv² + 9.8m
0.5v² = 2.7
v = 2.324 m/s

Answer: 2.324 m/s

An object is in free fall. After 10 seconds calculate the distance fallen? *
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

9.81 × 10 = 98.1 meters

vertical displacement is s=1/2 at^2 + vt

initial vertical velocity is 0 so s=1/2 at^2

a in this instance is gravitational acceleration so 60m= 1/2 (9.81)t^2

solve for t, t = 3.497s. //I corrected this answer as just now I misread horizontal as vertical.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

12.1 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement = 120 m

a = Acceleration due to gravity on Moon = 1.67 m/s²

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2\times -1.67\times 120-0^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{2\times 1.67\times 120}\\\Rightarrow u=20.02\ m/s

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-20.2}{-1.67}\\\Rightarrow t=12.1\ s

Time taken by the rock to hit the bottom of the crater is 12.1 seconds
