Froghopper insects have a typical mass of around 12.5 mg and can jump to a height of 42.3 cm. The takeoff velocity is achieved a

s 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)?

Answer:

2065.005 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-0^2}{2\times h}\\\Rightarrow v^2=2ah\ m/s

Now H-h = 42.3 - 0.2 = 42.1 cm = 0.421 m

The final velocity will be the initial velocity

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow 0^2-u^2=2gs\\\Rightarrow -2ah=2\times g(H-h)\\\Rightarrow -2a0.002=2\times g0.421\\\Rightarrow a=-\frac{0.421\times -9.81}{0.002}\\\Rightarrow a=2065.005\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the frog is 2065.005 m/s²

Marys airplane trip took 5.8 hours for one-half of that time, the airplane flew at a constant speed of 640 miles per hour and fo
Olenka [21]
Distance is speed x time.  Half of the trip is 5.8/2 = 2.9hrs.
640 x 2.9 = 1856mi
580 x 2.9 = 1682mi
1856mi+1682mi=3538mi.

You could also calculate her average speed.  This is easy since it was divided in two equal time slices.  Average Speed = (640+580)/2 = 610mi/hr
Now 610mi/hr x 5.8hrs = 3538mi

Now explore friction force. Set the piece of plastic or wood on the table and push it steadily across the tabletop using your fi
nydimaria [60]

Answer: If there is a higher friction, the opposition force is higher so that it can reduce our speed. So, a factor that affects friction is the roughness or smoothness of the surface of the object. In comparison of the table with the fabric, the fabric will have a more opposition force. As the surface of the fabric is usually rougher than the surface of a smooth table. As there is more friction on a fabric, we will feel more opposition force on our finger tip.

Hope it helped! :>
