Answer:
im pretty sure it should be 50.0
Any moving object in space will travel in a straight line at the same speed forever, planets included. The planets would be moving in straight lines, but the sun's gravity pulls them toward it. The force of gravity causes the moving planets to travel in roughly circular orbits around the sun.
Answer:
10.1 m/s
Explanation:
By Newton's third law, the force on the squid and that due to the water expelled form an action reaction pair.
And by the law of conservation of momentum,
initial momentum of squid + expelled water = final momentum of squid + expelled water.
Now, the initial momentum of the system is zero.
So, 0 = final momentum of squid + expelled water
0 = MV + mv where M = mass of squid = 6.50kg, V = velocity of squid = 2.40m/s, m =mass of water in cavity = 1.55 kg and v = velocity of water expelled
So, MV + mv = 0
MV = -mv
v = -MV/m
= -6.50 kg × 2.40 m/s ÷ 1.55 kg
= -15.6 kgm/s ÷ 1.55 kg
= -10.1 m/s
So, speed must it expel this water to instantaneously achieve a speed of 2.40 m/s to escape the predator is 10.1 m/s
