Part A Ignoring air drag, what is the takeoff speed of such a flea? Express your answer in meters per second. Part B Calculate the kinetic energy of this flea at takeoff. Express your answer in joules. Part C Calculate the kinetic energy per kilogram of mass. Express your answer in joules per kilogram. If a 77.0 kgkg, 2.00-mm-tall human could jump to the same height compared with his length as the flea jumps compared with its length, how high could the human jump? Express your answer in meters. If a 77.0 kgkg, 2.00-mm-tall human could jump to the same height compared with his length as the flea jumps compared with its length, what takeoff speed would the person need? Express your answer in meters per second. Most humans can jump no more than 60.0 cmcm from a crouched start. What is the kinetic energy per kilogram of mass at takeoff for such a 77.0 kgkg person? Express your answer in joules per kilogram.
