Answer:
21 m
Explanation:
The motion of the frog is a uniform motion (constant speed), therefore we can find the distance travelled by using
where
d is the distance covered
v is the speed
t is the time
The frog in this problem has a speed of
v = 2.1 m/s
and therefore, after t = 10 s, the distance it covered is
Answer:
The thrown rock strike 2.42 seconds earlier.
Explanation:
This is an uniformly accelerated motion problem, so in order to find the arrival time we will use the following formula:
So now we have an equation and unkown value.
for the thrown rock
for the dropped rock
solving both equation with the quadratic formula:
we have:
the thrown rock arrives on t=5.4 sec
the dropped rock arrives on t=7.82 sec
so the thrown rock arrives 2.42 seconds earlier (7.82-5.4=2.42)
