There are two general types of collisions, inelastic and elastic.
Inelastic collisions occur when two objects collide but neither of them bounce away from each other.
Collisions in which the objects do not touch each other are elastic. (Ex: Rutherford Scattering)

Starting from rest, a 2.1x10-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exerts

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

1.327363 m/s

0.00090243 m

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

m = Mass of flea

Energy

$E=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow 3.7\times 10^{-4}=2.1\times 10^{-4}(v^2-0)\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{3.7\times 10^{-4}}{2.1\times 10^{-4}}}\\\Rightarrow v=1.32736\ m/s$

The velocity of the flea when leaving the ground is 1.327363 m/s

$W=F\times s\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{W}{F}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-4}}{0.41}\\\Rightarrow s=0.00090243\ m$

The flea will travel 0.00090243 m upward
