The jumping ability of the African desert locust was measured by placing the insect on a force plate, a platform that can accurately measure the force that acts on it. When the locust jumped straight up, its acceleration was measured to follow the curve in (Figure 1). What was the maximum force that this 0.44 g locust exerted on the force plate? (Maximum Acceleration at 90 m/s^2 at 30 milliseconds)

The jumping ability of the African desert locust was measured by placing the insect on a force plate, a platform that can accurately measure the force that acts on it. When the locust jumped straight up, its acceleration was measured to follow the curve in Figure $\mathrm{P} 4.71 .$ What was the maximum force that this $0.50 \mathrm{g}$ locust exerted on the force plate?

A 2.0 g desert locust can achieve a takeoff speed of 3.6 m/s (comparable to the best human jumpers) by using energy stored in an internal “spring” near the knee joint. When the locust jumps, what energy transformation takes place? What is the minimum amount of energy stored in the internal spring? If the locust were to make a vertical leap, how high could it jump? Ignore air resistance and use conservation of energy concepts to solve this problem. If 50% of the initial kinetic energy is transformed to thermal energy because of air resistance, how high will the locust jump?
