It has been claimed that an insect called the froghopper (Philaenus spumarius) is the best jumper in the animal kingdom. This insect can accelerate at 4,000 m/s2 over a distance of 2.0 mm as it straightens its specially designed "jumping legs." Assuming a uniform acceleration, answer the following.
(a) What is the velocity of the insect after it has accelerated
through this short distance? (Enter the magnitude of the
velocity.)
(b) How long did it take to reach that velocity?
(c) How high would the insect jump if air resistance could be
ignored? Note that the actual height obtained is about 0.7 m, so
air resistance is important here.

1) The champion jumper of the insect world. The froghopper (an insect, not a frog), Philaenus spumarius, holds the world record for insect jumps. When leaping at an angle of 58.0o above the horizontal, some of the tiny critters have reached a maximum height of 58.7 cm above level ground (see Nature, Vol. 424, 31 July 2003, p. 509). Suppose this insect jumped at the same angle and speed from the edge of a table that was 1.00 m high,...

The froghopper, a tiny insect, is a remarkable jumper. Suppose a colony of the little critters is raised on Io, a moon of Jupiter, where the acceleration due to gravity is only 1.80 m/s2 , whereas gravity on Earth is ?=9.81 m/s2 . If on Earth a froghopper's maximum jump height is ℎ and its maximum horizontal jump range is ? , what would its maximum jump height and range be on Io in terms of ℎ and ? ?...

The froghopper, a tiny insect, is a remarkable jumper. Suppose a colony of the little critters is raised on Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, where the acceleration due to gravity is only 1.43 m/s2 , whereas gravity on Earth is ?=9.81 m/s2 . If on Earth a froghopper's maximum jump height is ℎ and its maximum horizontal jump range is ? , what would its maximum jump height and range be on Ganymede in terms of ℎ and ? ?...
