Question

(6) Water striders are insect that propel themselves on the surface of ponds by creating vortices in the water shed by their driving legs. The velocity-versus-time graph of 2 a 17 mm long water strider that moved in a straight line was created from a video. See the figure attached. The insect started from rest, sped up by taking two strides, and then slowed down until it stopped. Estimate

 

(a) maximum speed (in m/s),

 

 (b) the maximum acceleration (in m/s2 )

 

(c) the total displacement (in m) of the water strider. Note that the velocity on the graph in the textbook is given in units of length of water strider body per second.
