Consider the myths listed below[*] as factual for camel spiders (Eremobates pallipes, also known as "wind scorpions"), which are native to California. Ignore friction and drag.
Camel spiders can reach up to 6 inches (15 cm) in length and weigh about 2 ounces (57 grams). Some common myths...are that they can run up to 30 mph (13 m/s) and jump up to 3 feet [1 m] high.A camel spider that starts from rest and speeds up to 13 m/s will have an increase in translational kinetic energy of:
(A) 0.4 J.
(B) 0.6 J.
(C) 0.7 J.
(D) 5 J.
[*] Jessie Szalay, "Camel Spiders: Facts & Myths" (December 17, 2014), livescience.com/40025-camel-spiders-facts.html.
Correct answer (highlight to unhide): (D)
The change in translational kinetic energy is given by:
∆KEtr = (1/2)·m·(vf2 – v02),
∆KEtr = +4.8165 J,
or to two significant figures, the increase in translational kinetic energy is 5 J.
(Response (A) is (1/2)·m·(vf – v0); response (B) is m·g·(yf – y0); response (C) is m·(vf – v0).)
