a. The kinetic energy of the locust at the given speed.
b. The energy required for jump at the given rate.
Answer to Problem 77GP
Solution:
a. The kinetic energy of the locust is
b.The energy required for jump is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The mass of the locust is:
The speed of the locust is
Formula used: The kinetic energy expression is
Where, m is the mass and vis the speed.
Calculation:
a
The kinetic energy of the locust at this given speed is:
b
The energy transformation efficiency of the locust is 35%. Therefore, 35% of the locust’s total energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Therefore,
Conclusion:
a. The kinetic energy of the locust is
b.The energy required for jump is
