Certain insects can achieve seemingly impossible accelerations while jumping. the click beetle accelerates at an astonishing 400

g over a distance of 0.52 cm as it rapidly bends its thorax, making the "click" that gives it its name. part a assuming the beetle jumps straight up, at what speed does it leave the ground? part b how much time is required for the beetle to reach this speed? part c ignoring air resistance, how high would it go?

(a) The launching velocity of the beetle is 6.4 m/s

(b) The time taken to achieve the speed for launch is 1.63 ms

(c) The beetle reaches a height of 2.1 m.

(a) The beetle starts from rest and accelerates with an upward acceleration of 400 g and reaches its launching speed in a distance 0.53 cm. Here g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Use the equation of motion,

v^2=u^2+2as

Here, the initial velocity of the beetle is u, its final velocity is v, the acceleration of the beetle is a, and the beetle accelerates over a distance s.

Substitute 0 m/s for u, 400 g for a, 9.8 m/s² for g and 0.52×10⁻²m for s.

v^2=u^2+2as\\ = (0 m/s)^2+2 (400)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.52*10^-^2 m)\\ =40.768 (m/s)^2\\ v=6.385 m/s

The launching speed of the beetle is <u>6.4 m/s</u>.

(b) To determine the time t taken by the beetle for launching itself upwards is determined by using the equation of motion,

v=u+at

Substitute 0 m/s for u, 400 g for a, 9.8 m/s² for g and 6.385 m/s for v.

v=u+at\\ 6.385 m/s = (0 m/s) +400(9.8 m/s^2)t\\ t = \frac{6.385 m/s}{3920 m/s^2} = 1.63*10^-^3s=1.63 ms

The time taken by the beetle to launch itself upwards is <u>1.62 ms</u>.

(c) After the beetle launches itself upwards, it is acted upon by the earth's gravitational force, which pulls it downwards towards the earth with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity g. Its velocity reduces and when it reaches the maximum height in its path upwards, its final velocity becomes equal to zero.

Use the equation of motion,

v^2=u^2+2as

Substitute 6.385 m/s for u, -9.8 m/s² for g and 0 m/s for v.

v^2=u^2+2as\\ (0m/s)^2=(6.385 m/s)^2+2(-9.8m/s^2)s\\ s=\frac{(6.385 m/s)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =2.08 m

The beetle can jump to a height of <u>2.1 m</u>

The change in the angle of circular motion is analogous to ____ in linear motion
snow_lady [41]

The change in the angle of circular motion is analogous to <u>linear velocity</u> in linear motion

<u>Explanation:</u>

We define angular velocity ω as the rate of change of an angle. The greater the rotation angle in a given amount of time, the greater the angular velocity. angular velocity refers to how fast an object rotates or revolves relative to another point, i.e. how fast the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time.

The units for angular velocity are radians per second (rad/s). Angular velocity ω is analogous to linear velocity v. Linear velocity is the measure of “the rate of change of displacement with respect to time when the object moves along a straight path.” It is a vector quantity.

Liula [17]

An equation relating the length that you measure l to the ship's proper length l0  is  

l =l0/y. This is further explained below.

<h3>What is an equation relating the length that you measure l to the ship's proper length l0?</h3>

Generally, Any object's length in a moving frame will look shortened or contracted when seen in that direction. The Lorentz transformation may be used to determine the amount of contraction.

In conclusion, To use the Lorentz Lorentz transformation, the length Lo-x2 - may be determined if it is measured in the moving reference frame. Hence the Resultant l = l0/y.
