Final answer:
The horizontal distance traveled by the frog is calculated by multiplying the average speed of 1.8 m/s by the time of 0.55 s, resulting in 0.99 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the horizontal distance traveled by the frog, we use the formula for distance (d) which is the product of speed (v) and time (t). In this case, the frog jumps to the left with an average speed of 1.8 m/s for 0.55 seconds. Therefore, the horizontal distance traveled by the frog is:
Distance (d) = Speed (v) × Time (t)
d = 1.8 m/s × 0.55 s = 0.99 m.
The correct answer is A. 0.99 m.
