BIO A Leafhopper's Leap The motion of jumping insects is of interest not only to biologists, but also to those who design robots Figure 5-46 shows the speed versus time graph for two different takeoff jumps of a 19-mg green leafhopper as determined from high-speed videos. (a) What is the magnitude of the average net force acting on the leafhopper’s body during jump 1? (b) What is the ratio of the force found m part (a) to the leafhopper s weight? (c) Is the average force during jump 2 greater than, less than, or equal to the average force during jump 1? Explain

- An automobile driver traveling down an 8% grade slams on his brakes and skids 30 m before hitting a parked car. A lawyer hires an expert who measures the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road to be k = 0.45. Is the lawyer correct to accuse the driver of exceeding the 25-MPH speed limit? Explain.arrow_forwardA warehouse worker exerts a constant horizontal force of magnitude 89.0 N on a 42.0 kg box that is initially at rest on the horizontal floor of the warehouse. When the box has moved a distance of 1.80 m, its speed is 1.00 m/s. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor?

If the driver applies the brakes, the maximum friction force that the tires can provide without skidding is about 7000N.

Plot the velocity of the block as it hits the ground at B as a function of the coefficient of kinetic friction u, between the log and the ramp. Let ux vary between 0 and 1. Why does the computer not plot results for the entire range specified? 400lb 250lb A 30 deg 20' Hints: -- Model the system as a dependent motion analysis and derive acceleration equations in terms of the unknown quantities -- Use MATLAB to solve this system of equations (you'll need one equation for each unknown!) -- Define uk as a range in MATLAB from 0 to 0 in 0.01 increments -- Plot the function of the velocity for the block as it hits the groundarrow_forwardPRINTER VERSION 1 BACK NEXT Chapter 07, Problem 038 Z Your answer is partially correct.

In your answer specify the type of friction involved and how it acts in a detrimental manner.arrow_forwardDancers experience large forces associated with the jumps they make. For example, when a dancer lands after a vertical jump, the force exerted on the head by the neck must exceed the head's weight by enough to cause the head to slow down and come to rest. The head is about 9.4%% of a typical person's mass. Video analysis of a 70 kgkg dancer landing after a vertical jump shows that her head slows down from 4.2 m/sm/s to rest in a time of 0.19 s.What is the magnitude of the average force that her neck exerts on her head during the landing?arrow_forward
