A frog is jumping around its pond. At some time t , the frog is in mid-jump and has a kinetic energy of 1 J and a momentum of magnitude 0.5 kg⋅m/s . What is the mass of the frog in kg?

0.5 m V^2 = 0.5*(1/m)*(mV)^2

Kinetic energy = ( 0.5)*(1/m)*(momentum)^2
1 = (1/m)*0.125
m = 0.125 kg

To find the mass of the frog, we can use the equations for kinetic energy and momentum.

The equation for kinetic energy is:

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2

And the equation for momentum is:

Momentum (p) = mass * velocity

We are given that the kinetic energy of the frog is 1 J and the magnitude of momentum is 0.5 kg⋅m/s.

First, let's find the velocity of the frog using the momentum equation:

0.5 kg⋅m/s = mass * velocity

Now, let's rearrange the equation to solve for the velocity:

velocity = 0.5 kg⋅m/s / mass

We know that kinetic energy is given by the equation:

1 J = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2

Substituting the value of velocity, we get:

1 J = 1/2 * mass * (0.5 kg⋅m/s / mass)^2

Now, simplify the equation:

1 J = 1/2 * mass * (0.5)^2 kg^2⋅m^2/s^2

1 J = 1/2 * 0.25 kg^2⋅m^2/s^2

Simplifying further, we get:

1 J = 0.125 kg^2⋅m^2/s^2

Now, we can solve for mass by isolating it in the equation:

mass = √ (2 * 1 J / 0.125 kg^2⋅m^2/s^2)

mass = √ (16 kg)

mass = 4 kg

Therefore, the mass of the frog is 4 kg.
