The frog left the lily pad with a speed of 10.4 meters per second and a velocity inclined at an angle of 61 degrees above horizontal. Once the frog was in the air, the only significant force on the frog was gravity with g = 10 meters per second squared. Calculate the distance a, in units of meters, from the edge of the grassy lawn to the place where the frog landed.arrow_forwardi need help with both questions.
