Answer:
This is how I figured it out:
- 215.5 rounded to one significant figure is 200
- 101.02555 rounded to one significant figure is 100.
- 200 + 100 = 300.
Hope this helps!
Explanation:
Work:
F: force
ds: displacement
Assuming the work is constant:
d displacement
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
