Fleas are agile, wingless insects that feed on the blood of their hosts. although they are typically 2–3 mm long with a mass of 3.9×10−4 kg , they have an astonishing ability to jump when threatened. their propulsion, which can briefly produce accelerations more than 100 times that of gravity, comes not from muscles but, in fact, from an elastomeric protein called resilin, which acts as a spring. given that the typical launch velocity of a flea is about 1 m/s, what total energy must be stored in the resilin just before the flea jumps?

Consider a small frictionless puck perched at the top of a fixed sphere of radius r. if the puck is given a tiny nudge so that it begins to slide down, through what vertical height will it descend before it leaves the surface of the sphere? [hint: use conservation of energy to find the puck's speed as a func e conservation of energy to find the puck's speed as a function of its height at what value of this normal force does the puck leave the sphere? ] here on the puck.
