Nevertheless, the laws of physics do apply to cats — as well as every other kind of animal, from insects to elephants. Biology does not avoid physics; it embraces it. From friction on microscopic scales to fluid dynamics in water and air, animals exploit physical laws to run or swim or fly.

The secret of honeybee flight, the researchers say, is the unconventional combination of short, choppy wing strokes, a rapid rotation of the wing as it flops over and reverses direction, and a very fast wing-beat frequency. "These animals are exploiting some of the most exotic flight mechanisms that are available to insects," says Dickinson.

Tray - Well, metabolism is really just how these animals break down fats and sugars to use them and make energy in a form that they can use. And what our research looked at is the muscle itself. Muscle makes up a big chunk of the body mass of these animals; it uses a lot of energy.

Thanks, Jacob! Newton's Second Law is the Law of Force, Mass and Acceleration. It describes the relationship between the three. The equation of this law is F (force) = M (Mass) x A (Acceleration). Because Mass and Acceleration are the numbers being multiplied together, if you scale back on one of them, you'll lose force.

The ratio of these quantities scales as $$\frac{f_r}{f_g} \propto L^{-1}, $$ meaning that smaller animals are buoyed up more effectively by air resistance as they fall. I expect that there is probably more to the story than this, however, as noted in the comments, these sorts of experiments are tricky to get funding for
