Determine what is the average power required

Reference no: EM13658158

It takes a flea 1.0 x 10-3 sec to reach a peak speed of 0.74 m/s.

a) If the mass of the flea is 0.45 x 10-6 kilogram, determine what is the average power required?

b) Insect muscle has a maximum output of 60 W/kg. If 20 percent of the flea's weight is muscle, can the muscle provide the power needed?

c) The flea has a resoling pad at the base of the hind leg that compresses when the flea bends its leg to jump. If we assume the pad is a cube with a side of 6.0 x 10-5 meter, and the pad compresses fully, find what is the energy stored in the compression of the pads of the two hind legs? The Young's modulus for resoling is1.7 x 106 N/m2.

d) Find does this provide enough power for the jump?
