slope of v vs t curve give us acceleration.
maximum slope = (60 - 20)m/s / (100-80)us
= 2 x 10^6 m/s^2
a = 2e6 m/s^2
(B) F = m a = (1.4 x 10^-7 kg) (2 x 10^6 m/s^2)
F = 0.28 N
Review | Constants Periodic Table The trap-jaw ant, found throughout tropical South America, catches its prey...
A trap-jaw ant has mandibles that can snap shut with some force, as you might expect from its name. The formidable snap is good for more than capturing prey. When an ant snaps its jaws against the ground, the resulting force can launch the ant into the air. Here are typical data: An ant rotates its mandible, of length 1.30 mm and mass 130 μg (which we can model as a uniform rod rotated about its end), at a high...
