High-speed motion pictures (3500 frames/second) of a
jumping 230 μg flea yielded the data to plot the flea's
acceleration as a function of time as shown in the figure (
Figure 1). (See "The Flying Leap of the Flea," by M.
Rothschild et al. in the November 1973 Scientific
American.) This flea was about 2 mm long and jumped at
a nearly vertical takeoff angle. Use the measurements
shown on the graph to answer the questions.

A car moves along a straight road. It moves at a speed of 50 km/hr for 4 minutes, then
during the next 4 minutes it gradually speeds up to 100 km/hr, continues at this speed
for 4 minutes, then takes 4 minutes to gradually slow to a complete stop. Make a
sketch like the figures in Section 1.2 of your textbook, marking dots for the position
along the road every minute.
Can someone please show me how to compute this? With explanation please. Thank you

- The minimum stopping distance for a car traveling at a speed of 30 m/sm/s is 60 m, including the distance traveled during the driver's reaction time of 0.50 ss . What is the minimum stopping distance for the same car traveling at a speed of 47 m/sm/s ? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forwardImagine you are in charge of figuring out the maximum speed of a very foggy road. Consider a road that we cannot see anything beyond 15 meters. Suppose that human reaction time is 0.3s and the deceleration from pressing the brake is -10m/s². What should be the speed limit for this road in [m/s]? Hint: during the reaction time, the car still moves with constant speed. The car starts slowing down when the brake is pressed.arrow_forwardAnswer the following question(s): A student sees her physical science professor approaching on the sidewalk that runs by her dorm. She gets a water balloon and waits. When the professor is 2.0s from being directly under the window about 11m from the sidewalk, she drops the balloon. Finish the story. Instructor Note: There are several ways to reach the correct answer. I generally solve for time to determine if balloon will hit the professor or not based on the given scenario. A formula to use is ?=12??2d=12gt2?d = 1 2 g t 2 where d = distance g = gravitational constant of 9.8 t = timearrow_forward
- Suppose the caravan of 10 cars begins immediately in front of the first toll booth, travels 20 km to a second toll booth, then another 40 km to a third toll booth, and finally stops immediately after the third tool booth. Thus, they travel a total of 60 km. What is the total end-to-end delay? Where is the last car in the caravan after one hour? Your answer must include a distance/specific location, and not only a relative direction.arrow_forwardI am doing a free-fall experiment for Physics and I need to make a position vs. time graph using the average value of release heights that I obtained.
