Answer to Problem 91QAP

The time of the jump is 1.38ms and acceleration during the time is 2.09×103m/s2

Explanation of Solution

Givendata:

Distance, for take-off speed Δy=0.428m

Distance for acceleration necessary to attain the required speed from rest Δy=0.00200m

Final speed vy=2.89m/s

Initial speed v0y=0

  mfroghopper=12mg=12.3×103kg

Formula Used:

Newton's second law:

  Fnet=m×a

  ay=ΔvyΔt

  v2=u2+2aΔy

Calculation:

We are interested in the portionof the jump while the insect is still on the ground.

We can assume that the acceleration of theinsect is constant during this phase

In order to calculate the acceleration of the insect and thelength of time during this phase of the jump, we first need to calculate the speed with whichthe froghopper leaves the ground.

While the insect is in the air, it is only under the influenceof gravity, so we can use the constant acceleration equations and the height of the jump tocalculate the takeoff speed.

Once we have this value, we know the froghopper acceleratedfrom rest through a distance of 2.00mmto reach this takeoff speed. We can directly calculatethe time because we are assuming the acceleration is constant.

The forces acting on the insectwhile it is on the ground are the force of the ground on the froghopper pointing up (that is,the normal force) and the force of gravity pointing down.

After defining a coordinate systemwhere positive y points upward, we can calculate the magnitude of the normal force usingNewton's second law.

Takeoff speed is,

  vy2=v20y+2ay(yy0)v0y=vy22ay(Δy)=02( 9.80 m/s2 )( 0.428m)=2.89m/s

Acceleration necessary to attain that speed from rest is,

  vy2=v20y+2ay(yy0)ay=vy2v2 0y2(Δy)= (2.89m/s)202(0.00200m)=2.09×103m/s2

Time is,

  ay=ΔvyΔtΔt=(Δvy)ay=(2.89m/s)2.09× 10 3 m/s2=0.00138s=1.38ms

Conclusion:

The time of the froghopper jump is 1.38ms and the acceleration during the jump is calculated as 2.09×103m/s2.

Answer to Problem 91QAP

The force that ground exert on the froghopper during the jump in millinewtons is

And the force 214times larger than the froghopper's weight.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

Distance, for take-off speed Δy=0.428m

Distance for acceleration necessary to attain the required speed from rest Δy=0.00200m

Final speed vy=2.89m/s

Initial speed v0y=0

froghopper's weight =12.3×9.8=120.54N

  nw froghopper=25.8N120.54× 10 3N=214n=214wfroghopper

This force is 214 times larger than the froghopper's weight.

Conclusion:

Thus, we have the value of force =0.0258mN

And the force is 214 times larger than the froghopper's weight.
