Question
A frog leaps up from the ground and lands on a step 0.1 m above the ground 2 s later. We want to find the vertical velocity of the frog at the moment that it left the ground. Ignore air resistance. Which kinematic formula would be used

Answer:
You would use the kinematic formula:
Explanation:
The upwards vertical motion is ruled by the equation:
Where:
Naming Δy = y – y₀, the equation becomes:
Then, you just need to substitute with Δy = 0.1m, t = 2s, and g = 9.8m/s², ans solve for the intital vertical velocity.
Answer: the equation you would use is
v = v0 +at
