The froghopper Philaenus spumarius is supposedly the best jumper in the animal kingdom. To start a jump, this insect can acceler

ate at 4.00 km/s2 over a distance of 2.0 mm as it straightens its specially designed "jumping legs."
(a) Find the upward velocity with which the insect takes off.
(b) In what time interval does it reach this velocity?
(c) How high would the insect jump if air resistance were negligible? The actual height it reaches is about 70 cm, so air resistance must be a noticeable force on the leaping froghopper.

Answer:

Part a)

v_f = 4 m/s

Part b)

t = 0.001 s

Part c)

d = 0.815 m

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that initially the grass hopper is at rest at the ground position

Now the acceleration is given as

a = 4000 m/s^2

distance of the legs that it stretched is given as

s = 2.0 mm

so we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 0 = 2(4000)(0.002)

v_f = 4 m/s

Part b)

time taken to reach this speed is given as

v_f - v_i = at

4 - 0 = 4000 t

t = 0.001 s

Part c)

as the grass hopper reach the maximum height its final speed would be zero

so we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 4^2 = 2(-9.81) d

d = 0.815 m

¿que es la energia interna?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

La energía interna es el resultado de la contribución de la energía cinética de las moléculas o átomos que lo constituyen, de sus energías de rotación, traslación y vibración, además de la energía potencial intermolecular debida a las fuerzas de tipo gravitatorio, electromagnético y nuclear.

A particle has a charge of +1.5 µC and moves from point A to point B, a distance of 0.15 m. The particle experiences a constant
kirill [66]

Answer:

Part a)

F = 6 \times 10^{-3} N

Direction of force is along the motion of charge

Part b)

E = 4000 N/C

direction of electric field is along the direction of motion

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the change in electric potential energy is equal to the work done by electric field

W = EPE_A - EPE_B

W = 9.0 \times 10^{-4} J

now from the equation of work done we know that

W = F.d

(9.0 \times 10^{-4}) = F(0.15)

F = 6 \times 10^{-3} N

Direction of force is along the motion of charge

Part b)

As we know the relation between electrostatic force and electric field given as

F = qE

(6 \times 10^{-3}) = 1.5 \times 10^{-6} E

E = 4000 N/C

direction of electric field is along the direction of motion
