A trap-jaw ant has mandibles that can snap shut with some force, as you might expect from its name. The formidable snap is good for more than capturing prey. When an ant snaps its jaws against the ground, the resulting force can launch the ant into the air. Here are typical data: An ant rotates its mandible, of length 1.30 mm and mass 130 μg (which we can model as a uniform rod rotated about its end), at a high angular speed. As the tip strikes the ground, it undergoes an angular acceleration of 3.5Ã10^8rad/s^2. Required:
If we assume that the tip of the mandible hits perpendicular to the ground, what is the force on the tip?

the answer would most likely be c, because if it's a comical piece of information, it may likely not be true, if it's a site that allows anybody to edit the content, it could mean a five year old is typing the info, and if it's a tv show produced by a celeb, it may have a biased opinion.

chemical energy --> gravitational potential energy --> kinetic energy --> elastic potential energy --> gravitational potential energy

explanation:

when emma starts the hike, the chemical energy stored in her body is used to climb up the mountain, and so she gains gravitational potential energy (because at the end, she will be at a higher height h above the ground). then she goes bungee jumping: as she falls, this gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (because her speed increases as she falls down), until the point when the rope stretches, and she stops moving. at that moment, all the kinetic energy is converted into elastic potential energy due to the stretching of the rope. then, this energy is released because the rope returns to its natural length, and emma gains a small increase in altitude , so she gains some gravitational potential energy.
