    Find the displacement vector
    A GREE FROG WITH A BODY TEMPERATURE OF 18 Celsius AT REST AT THE EDGE OF A 1.0m HIGH TABLE JUMPS OFF AND LANDS ON THE GROUND 1.0 m out from the edge.determine the length of its displacement vector.

    Please refrain from using ALL CAPITALS in the future. Thank you.
    I assume you mean a green frog.

    Anyway, to find the answer is very simple. Simply use the pythagorean theorum to get it.

    He goes 1m down, and 1m across...

    EDIT: Listen to Unknown, I don't know what I was thinking... :o

    I have to disagree with something you said just then HH...

    The Pythagoras' Theorem does work with ones:

    Hey, yeah, you're right, I don't know what I was thinking. I edited my previous post to limit confusion. Thanks Unknown!

    It's OK, we all have some time when we don't know what were doing ;)

    The velocity as a function of time for an asteroid in the asteroid belt is given by
    v(t)=V0e^(-t/t0) I + v0t/2t0 j

    with vo and to constants.

    Use ti = 0 as the initial time, and tf = 1.5 to as the final time.

    The values for the constants that you will use are:

    vo = 4.5 m/s
    to = 80 s

    Find the displacement of the asteroid.
    delta R= I+ j

    sbiyouka: I see you asked the same question here: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/physic...cs-765240.html

    Please see my repsone there.
