Höpping is an efficient method of locomotion for the kagaroo (see the figure above). When the kangaroo is in the air, the Earth-kangaroo system has a combination of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. When
the kangaroo lands, its Achilles tendons and the attached muscles stretch-a form of elastic potential energy. This elastic potential energy is used along with additional muscle tension to launch the kangaroo off the ground for
the next hop. In the red kangaroo, more than 50% of the total energy used during each hop is recovered elastic potential energy. This is so efficient that the kangaroo's metabolic rate actually decreases slightly as its
hopping speed increases from 8 km/h to 25 km/h.
The horizontal and vertical force components exerted by a fırm surface on a kangaroo's teet while it hops are shown in the fiqure below. The vertical force Ns on Ky vanes: when the kangaroo is not touching the surface S
the force is zero, when it is…
A cheetah accelerates constantly from rest to catch a gazelle. The cheetah covers a distance of 40 m in 5.2 seconds. The cheetah has a mass of 45 kg.
How much force is necessary to accomplish this feat?
Imagine you are learning to drive. You get into your guardian's vehicle to practice, but all you see in the rearview mirror is the back seat. Why does this happen?
