Answer:
P = (1/2 * m * V ^ 2)/t = 1/2 * ((0.12 * 10 ^ - 3) * c)/0.020
= 2.7*10^ -2 w
The average power developed by the legs of the grasshopper will be 2.7 × 10⁻² W.
Average power is a ratio of total work done by the body to the total time. Its unit is the watt.
The given data in the problem is ;
mass (m)= 0.12 g
time to run up = 0.020 s
According to the law of conservation of energy,
Work = change in Potential energy
Power is defined as the rate of work done which is found as;
[tex]\rm P = \frac{W}{t} \\\\ P= \frac{\frac{1}{2}mv^2 }{t} \\\\ P= \frac{\frac{1}{2}(0.12)(10^{-3})(3)^2}{0.020} \\\\P=2.7 \times 10^{-2}\ sec[/tex]
The average power developed by the legs of the grasshopper will be 2.7 × 10⁻² W.
Hence,option C is correct.
