Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. they do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracting the cavity to force out the water through an opening. a 6.50-kg squid (including the water in the cavity) at rest suddenly sees a dangerous predator. (a) if the squid has 1.75 kg of water in its cavity, at what speed must it expel this water suddenly to achieve a speed of 2.50 m/s to escape the predator? ignore any drag effects of the surrounding water. (b) how much kinetic energy does the squid create by this maneuver?
Answers: 3
= Velocity of squid = 2.5 m/s
= Velocity of water
= Mass of water = 1.75 kg
