Homework Statement
A frog jumps at t=0s and follows a projectile motion. The maximum height he reaches is 0.45m. The air resistance can be neglected.
a) What is the initial speed of the frog in y-direction and how long is the total time until he lands on the ground?
b) At which degree should he jump from the horizontal plane, to be able to reach a horizontal range of 3m?
Homework Equations
v^2=u^2+2as
v=d/t[/B]
The Attempt at a Solution
In part a I wrote down what I know about the vertical motion.
=> finding initial speed in y-direction
s=0.45m
u=?
v=0m/s
a= -9.81m/s^2
v^2=u^2+2as
u=2.97m/s
=> finding the total time of the flight
s=0m
u=2.97m/s
a=-9.81m/s^
T=?
s=ut+1/2at^2
t=0.61sFor part b I am confused. So the velocity in horizontal direction is always the same so I can use v=d/t
I know d=3m. I don't know the initial velocity or time it would take for a range of 3m. Can you give me some tips?
