It has been claimed that an insect called the froghopper (Philaenus spumarius) is the best jumper in the animal kingdom. This insect can accelerate at 4,000 m/s2 over a distance of 2.0 mm as it straightens its specially designed "jumping legs." Assuming a uniform acceleration, answer the following.
(a) What is the velocity of the insect after it has accelerated
through this short distance? (Enter the magnitude of the
velocity.)
(b) How long did it take to reach that velocity?
(c) How high would the insect jump if air resistance could be
ignored? Note that the actual height obtained is about 0.7 m, so
air resistance is important here.

The froghopper, a tiny insect, is a remarkable jumper. Suppose a colony of the little critters is raised on Io, a moon of Jupiter, where the acceleration due to gravity is only 1.80 m/s2 , whereas gravity on Earth is ?=9.81 m/s2 . If on Earth a froghopper's maximum jump height is ℎ and its maximum horizontal jump range is ? , what would its maximum jump height and range be on Io in terms of ℎ and ? ?...

The froghopper, a tiny insect, is a remarkable jumper. Suppose a colony of the little critters is raised on Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, where the acceleration due to gravity is only 1.43 m/s2 , whereas gravity on Earth is ?=9.81 m/s2 . If on Earth a froghopper's maximum jump height is ℎ and its maximum horizontal jump range is ? , what would its maximum jump height and range be on Ganymede in terms of ℎ and ? ?...

1) The champion jumper of the insect world. The froghopper (an insect, not a frog), Philaenus spumarius, holds the world record for insect jumps. When leaping at an angle of 58.0o above the horizontal, some of the tiny critters have reached a maximum height of 58.7 cm above level ground (see Nature, Vol. 424, 31 July 2003, p. 509). Suppose this insect jumped at the same angle and speed from the edge of a table that was 1.00 m high,...

Froghopper insects have a typical mass of around 13.1 mg and can jump to a height of 45.8 cm. The takeoff velocity is achieved as the insect flexes its legs over a distance of approximately 2.00 mm. Assume that the jump is vertical and that the froghopper undergoes constant acceleration while its feet are in contact with the ground. Ignore air resistance. What is the acceleration of the insect during the time of the jump (before it leaves the ground)?...

Two forces are acting on a 0.250 kg hockey puck as it slides along the ice. The first force has a magnitude of 0.400 N and points 35.0 north of east. The second force has a magnitude of 0.580 N and points 65,0° north of east. If these are the only two forces acting on the puck, what will be the magnitude and direction of the puck's acceleration? Enter the direction as an...

Certain insects can achieve seemingly impossible accelerations while jumping. The click beetle can accelerate at up to an astonishing 380g over a distance of roughly 0.700 cm as it bends its thorax, making the click that bears its name. See, for example, Journal of Zoology, Vol. 167(3), 1972, 319-336. a. Say that a particular beetle achieves an acceleration of 356g over a distance of 0.7 cm. Assuming the beetle jumps directly upwards, at what speed would it leave the ground?...
