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

The sprinter’s average acceleration is 1.98 m/s²

The given parameters;

  • initial velocity of the sprinter, u = 18 km/h
  • final velocity of the sprinter, v = 27 km/h
  • time of motion of the sprinter, t = 3.5 x 10⁻⁴ h

Convert the velocity of the sprinter to m/s;

initial \ velocity, u = 18 \frac{km}{h} \times \frac{1000 \ m}{1 \ km} \times \frac{1 \ h}{3600 \ s} = 5 \ m/s\\\\final \ velocity, v =27 \frac{km}{h} \times \frac{1000 \ m}{1 \ km} \times \frac{1 \ h}{3600 \ s} = 7.5 \ m/s\\\\

The time of motion is seconds;

t = 3.5 \times 10^{-4} \ h \times \frac{3600 \ s}{1 \ h} = 1.26 \ s

The sprinter’s average acceleration is calculated as follows;

a = \frac{v- u}{t} \\\\a = \frac{7.5 \ m/s \ - \ 5 \ m/s}{1.26 \ s} \\\\a = 1.98 \ m/s^2

Thus, the sprinter’s average acceleration is 1.98 m/s²
