Explanation:

The ability of the Kangaroo to jump higher is due to the stretching of its tendons as its speed increases.

As the tendons are being stretched more and more, the elastic potential energy increases with each increasing stretch.

This elastic potential energy is translated into gravitational potential energy hence the Kangaroo jumps higher as it's speed increases.

The kangaroo can  jump higher as it's speed increases due to the ability of its tendons to stretch more and more.

The jumping of kangaroo can be related with the concept of spring force and spring potential energy. The spring force is given as,

F = kx

And spring elastic potential energy is,

[tex]U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^{2}[/tex]

In both the cases, k is the spring constant and x is the stretching distance.

  • When kangaroo try to jump, the tendons provide extra flexibility to jump higher due to the more stretching. Here, the value of x increases. As value of x increases, ultimately more acceleration is provided to increase its speed.

  • As the tendons are being stretched more and more, the elastic potential energy increases with each increasing stretch.

  • This elastic potential energy is translated into gravitational potential energy hence the Kangaroo jumps higher as it's speed increases.

Thus, we can conclude that the kangaroo can  jump higher as it's speed increases due to the ability of its tendons to stretch more and more, such that more energy conversion of energy takes place.
