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 7.00kgsquid (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 to instantaneously achieve a speed of 2.70 m/s to escape the predator? Neglect any drag effects of the surrounding water.
B) How much kinetic energy does the squid create by this maneuver?
