Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti

ng 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 1.55 kg of water in its cavity, at what speed must it expel this water to suddenly achieve a speed of 2.60 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?

Answer:

A) The speed of the water must be 8.30 m/s.

B) Total kinetic energy created by this maneuver is 70.12 Joules.

Explanation:

A) Mass of squid with water = 6.50 kg

Mass of water in squid cavuty = 1.55 kg

Mass of squid = m_1=6.50 kg- 1.55 kg=4.95 kg

Velocity achieved by squid = v_1=2.60 m/s

Momentum gained by squid = P=m_1v_1

Mass of water = m_2=1.55 kg

Velocity by which water was released by squid = v_2

Momentum gained by water but in opposite direction = P'=m_2v_2

P = P'

m_1v_1=m_2v_2

v_2=\frac{m_1v_1}{m_2}=\frac{4.95 kg\times 2.60 m/s}{1.55 kg}=8.30 m/s

B) Kinetic energy does the squid create by this maneuver:

Kinetic energy of squid = K.E  =\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^{2}

Kinetic energy of water = K.E' = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^{2}

Total kinetic energy created by this maneuver:

K.E+K.E'=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^{2}

=\frac{1}{2}\times 4.95 kg\times (2.60 m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}\times 1.55 kg\times (8.30 m/s)^2=70.12 Joules

¿Qué cantidad de calor absorbió una masa de 4 g de cinc al pasar de 20 °C a<br> 180 °C?
Alborosie

(amount of heat)Q = ? , (Mass) m= 4 g , ΔT = T f - T i = 180 c° - 20 °c = 160 °c ,

Ce = 0.093 cal/g. °c

Q = m C ΔT

Q = 4 g × 0.093 cal/g.c° × ( 180 °c- 20 °c )

Q= 4×0.093 × 160

Q = 59.52 cal

I hope I helped you^_^
