Grasshoppers are known to be very good jumpers. While they are about 5 centimeters long, they can make a standing long jump of about 1 meter, twenty times their length! While doing that, they reach a peak height of about 30 centimeters. Here we will try to estimate what forces they exert on the ground while jumping. Ignore air resistance throughout this problem. 1. Using the maximum height of the projectile trajectory to find the y- component of velocity when the grasshopper leaves the ground and the time of flight. 2. Using the range of the trajectory and the time of flight to find the x- component of velocity when the grasshopper leaves the ground. 3. Find the speed of the grasshopper when it leaves the ground. 4. The grasshopper acquires this speed by pushing on the ground. Draw the free-body diagram of the grasshopper just before take-off. 5. Slow-motion videos suggest that grasshoppers push the ground for about 15 milliseconds before take-off. Assuming the acceleration is constant throughout this time interval, estimate the acceleration of the grasshopper just before take-off and compare it to the acceleration due to gravity g.

When applying kirchhoff's rules, one of the essential steps is to mark each resistor with plus and minus signs to label how the electric potential changes from one end of the resistor to the other. the circuit in the drawing contains four resistors, each marked with the associated plus and minus signs. however, one resistor is marked incorrectly. which one is it?

(2) (a) you have a simple circuit that consists of only a battery (δvbat=1.5v) and two resistors with resistance r1=10ω and r2=5ω, connected in series with each other. what is the current running through the battery? (b) you re-arrange your circuit so now r2 is attached in parallel to r1 rather than in series. what is the current running through the battery? (c) you add an additional resistor r3=7ω on the same branch as r2. what is the current running through the battery? (d) what is the power dissipated in r3?
