PolskiClick Beetle Flip: Latch-Spring Elastic Energy Release (2D)
2D side-view model of a click beetle's latch-mediated spring actuation: a real elastic strain-energy store (½kx²), an instantaneous latch release, energy-conserving launch velocity, and the resulting projectile arc — with a live peak-acceleration readout in g's.
This 2D companion strips the click beetle's jump down to the biomechanics that drive it: a real elastic-energy-storage spring model (½kx²) fed by adjustable stiffness, bend distance and body mass, a latch release that converts that stored energy to kinetic energy through the same energy-conservation equation the 3D scene only implies, and an ordinary projectile arc computed from the resulting launch velocity and angle — with a live peak-acceleration readout in g's and an on-screen check that the stored and kinetic energies actually match.
Latch-mediated spring actuation modeled with real ½kx² elastic energy storage, energy-conserving launch velocity v = x√(k/m), and projectile-motion jump height and range from the resulting speed and angle.
