The froghopper, champion leaper of the insect world, can jump straight up at 4.0 m/s. The jump itself lasts a mere 1.0 ms before the insect is clear of the ground.a. Draw a free-body diagram of this mighty leaper while the jump is taking place.b. While the jump is taking place, is the force that the ground exerts on the froghopper greater than, less than, or equal to the insect’s weight? Explain.
Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a
wagon. The first child exerts a force of 75.0 N, the second a force of 90.0 N, and the mass of the
third child plus wagon is 23.0 kg. Assume no friction in this problem.
a. Draw a free-body diagram, including all forces acting on the wagon.
b. Show the component equations (Fx and Fy) in terms of variables only.
c. Calculate the acceleration.
Santa Clause is about to distribute his gifts, but his reindeer Rudolph is still sleepy. So,

frictional force of 80N.
1. Draw an appropriate free body diagram to represent all the forces acting on Santa
and his sleigh.

magnitude of Fif the acceleration of Santa and his sleigh is 1.5 meters per second
squared?
