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

21. Calculate the acceleration of the bus from point D to E. Show your work.
Marat540 [252]

21) Acceleration from D to E: 1 m/s^2

22) The acceleration of the bus from D to E is 1 m/s^2

Explanation:

21)

The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity of the object. Mathematically:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we want to measure the acceleration of the bus from point D to point E. We have:

- Initial velocity at point D: u = 0

- Final velocity at point E: v = 5 m/s

- Time elapsed from D to E: t = 21 - 16 = 5 s

Therefore, the acceleration between D and E is

a=\frac{5-0}{5}=1 m/s^2

22) This question is the same as 21), so the result is the same.

What is the ratio of thicknesses of crown glass and water that would contain the same number of wavelengths of light?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

the thickness of the glass divided by thickness of water is going to be 1.333 divided by 1.52, which is 0.877. So, the height of this glass, in order to have the same number of wavelengths as in water, the height of the glass will be 0.877 times the height of the water, and so it will be smaller.

A ball is dropped from a building of height h. Assume the ball starts from rest and that air friction can be ignored. Derive an
agasfer [191]

Answer:

t=\sqrt{h/g}

Explanation:

We use the kinematics equation to solve this question:

y(t)=y_{o}+v_{o}t+1/2*a*t^{2}

v_{o}=0    because the ball is dropped

a=-g         the acceleration is the gravity, negative because it points downwards

y_{o}=h     initial height

y(t)=h/2     final height

So:

h/2=h-1/2*g*t^{2}

t=\sqrt{h/g}
