Answer:
The lighter frog goes higher than the heavier frog.
The lighter frog is moving faster than the heavier frog
Explanation:
If both frogs have the same kinetic energy when they leave the ground, the following equality applies:
Now, if the only force acting on the frogs is gravity, when they reach to the maximum height, we can apply the following kinematic equation:
When h= hmax, the object comes momentarily to an stop, so vf =0
Solving for hmax:
As the lighter frog, in order to have the same kinetic energy than the heavier one, has a greater initial velocity, it will go higher than the other.
As a consequence of both having the same kinetic energy, the lighter frog will be moving faster than the heavier frog.
Answers:
A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road.
B. A car driving at steady speed up a 10∘ incline.
Explanation:
An object is said to be in an inertial reference frame if the net force acting on the object is zero. According to Newton's second law, this also means that the acceleration of the object is also zero:
Since F=0, a=0 as well.
Let's now analyze each case.
A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road. --> YES: this is an inertial reference frame, because the car is keeping a constant speed and a constant direction, so its velocity is not changing, and its acceleration is zero.
B. A car driving at steady speed up a 10∘ incline. --> YES: this is an inertial reference frame, because the car is keeping a constant speed and a constant direction, so its velocity is not changing, and its acceleration is zero.
C. A car speeding up after leaving a stop sign. --> NO: this is not an intertial reference frame, because the car is speeding up, so it is accelerating.
D. A car driving at steady speed around a curve. --> NO: this is not an inertial reference frame, because the car is changing direction, therefore its velocity is changing and so the car is accelerating.
So the only two choices which are correct are A and B.
