Certain insects can achieve seemingly impossible accelerations while jumping. The click beetle accelerates at an astonishing 400g over a distance of 0.60 cm as it rapidly bends its thorax, making the “click” that gives it its name.

b. How much time is required for the beetle to reach this speed?

c. Ignoring air resistance, how high would it go?
