A consideration of the muscles of a tree frog make its jumping ability appear all the more impressive.
A consideration of the muscles of a tree frog make its jumping ability appear all the more impressive. Only 15% of the body mass of the cuban tree frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) is comprised of jumping muscles. This compares to 25% in the leopard frog (Rana pipiens), a species that can only jump half as far, but weighs twice as much. If we assume equal contact time, how does the jump power-per-unit-mass of the jumping muscles compare between these two species? Does this help explain the high performance of the tree frog? Hint: Use the power equation listed on the equation list, which was not presented in lecture.
P = LMg/2mt
P: power/unit muscle mass, M: body mass, m: muscle mass, t: contact time L: jump distance, g: accel. of gravity
Answer: The power-per-unit mass of the tree frog is 3.33 times greater than the leopard frog. This does help explain how the tree frog jumps further.
