Sorry to double-post, but what I wrote regarding the free-body diagram got me thinking...there should be one additional force acting on the flea, which would be the normal force counteracting gravity. It turns out that the flea's weight does not need to be involved in this equation because the...

As far as my understanding of my class thus far is concerned, this external force should be a sum of the forces acting on the flea. In fact the question asks for force on the flea. In a free-body diagram, I drew a force of gravity acting downward on the flea. I drew a pushing force of the...

Homework Statement High-speed motion pictures (3500 frames/second) of a jumping 240μg flea yielded the data to plot the flea's acceleration as a function of time as shown in the figure (Figure 1) . (See "The Flying Leap of the Flea," by M. Rothschild et al. in the November 1973 Scientific...
