Assume that the shape of the resilin in each leg of the flea is equivalent to a cylinder 2 x 10-2 cm long and 10-4 cm2 in area. If the change in the length of the resilin is Al = 10-2 cm, calculate the energy stored in the resilin. The flea weighs 0.5 x 10- g. How high can the flea jump utilizing only the stored energy?
