(a) What is the pucks acceleration? (b) At what velocity is it traveling after 2.00 s? (c) How long does it take to travel 40.0 m? (See Section 2.5.)
The froghopper Philaenus spumarius is supposedly the best jumper in the animal kingdom. To start a jump, this insect can accelerate at 4.00 km/s2 over a distance of 2.00 mm as it straightens its specially adapted jumping legs. Assume the acceleration is constant. (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.

An insect called the froghopper (Philaenus spumarius) has been called the best juniper in the animal kingdom. This insect can accelerate at over 4.0 103 m/s2 during a displacement of 2.0 mm as it straightens its specially equipped jumping legs. (a) Assuming uniform acceleration, what is the insect's speed after it has accelerated through this short distance? (b) How long does it take to reach that speed? (c.) How high could the insect jump if air resistance could be ignored? Note that, the actual height obtained is about 0.70 m, so air resistance is important here.
