A frog jumps vertically upward from a 20m tall building with an initial velocity of 8.1m/s. How high above the ground will the f
topjm [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

Consider the initial position of the frog (20 m above ground) as the reference position. All measurements are positive measured upward.

Therefore,

u = 10 m/s, initial upward velocity.

H = - 20 m, position of the ground.

g = 9.8 m/s², acceleration due to gravity.

Part (a)

When the frog reaches a maximum height of h from the reference position, its velocity is zero. Therefore

u² - 2gh = 0

h = u²/(2g) = 10²/(2*9.8) = 5.102 m

At maximum height, the frog will be 20 + 5.102 = 25.102 m above ground.

Answer: 25.1 m above ground

Part (b)

Let v = the velocity when the frog hits the ground. Then

v² = u² - 2gH

v² = 10² - 2*9.8*(-20) = 492

v = 22.18 m/s

Answer: The frog hits the ground with a velocity of 22.2 m/s

A car is traveling with an initial velocity of 15 m/s when the driver decides to go faster by accelerating at 5 m/s squared for
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

x = 400 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equations, first, we find the final speed, and then we proceed to find the distance traveled.

v_{f}=v_{i} +(a*t)\\

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 15 [m/s]

a = acceleration = 5 [m/s^2]

t = time = 10 [s]

Note: the positive sign in the Equation indicates that the car is accelerating, i.e. its speed is increasing.

<u>Now replacing</u>

Vf = 15 + (5*10)

Vf = 65 [m/s]

Now using the second equation:

v_{f} ^{2}= v_{i} ^{2}+(2*a*x)

where:

x = distance traveled [m]

x = (65^2 - 15^2)/ (2*5)

x = 400 [m]

Help me please. Please see attached for the questions with the graph
KatRina [158]

<u>Answer</u>

5) b-c

6)    a-b and

       e-f

7) f-g

9) a-b = 0 m/s

    c-d = 0.6667 m/s

    e-f = 0 m/s

    f-g = -3 m/s

10) b-c ⇒ The cart is acceleration.

   e-f ⇒ The cart is moving backwards with a constant velocity.

<u>Explanation</u>

Answer

5) b-c

In the section b-c the cart is accelerating because the slope of the graph is changing. The gradient that represent velocity is increasing.

6) a-b and e-f

At this sections the distance is not changing at all. This can only mean that the cart is not moving. It is at rest.

7) f-g

At this section the slope is negative meaning the cart is moving back to where it came from.

9) a-b = 0 m/s

At a-b the cart is not moving. So the velocity is zero.

<u>     c-d = 0.66667 m/s</u>

Velocity = distance / time

               =(50-40)/(40-25)

                = 10/15

                 = 0.6667  m/s

   <u> e-f = 0 m/s</u>

At e-f the cart is not moving. So the velocity is zero.

 <u>   f-g = -3 m/s</u>

Velocity = distance / time

               = (60-30)/(65-75)

                = 30/-10

                = - 3 m/s

10) b-c ⇒ The cart is acceleration.

   e-f ⇒ The cart is moving backwards with a constant velocity.

If you can see the blinking insertion point in a field, you are in ________.
Sonja [21]
You would be in an editing mode when you can see a blinking insertion point on a field. In addition, in any word processing software, it would basically signify that you can already type on the document. Another name for the insertion point would be the I-beam as displayed on the screen.
