Name: Date:

2. Each leg of a six-legged 0.001g water bug is able to apply a 0.001N force over a distance of 0.001m as it jumps into the air. Use the Work-Energy theorem to determine the speed with which the bug will leap from the water after starting from rest.

a. 0.001 m/s

b. 0.02 m/s

c. 2m/s d. 3.5 m/s
