Squids are the fastest marine invertebrates, using a powerful set of muscles to take in and then eject water in a form of jet propulsion that can propel them to speeds of over 11.5 m/s. What speed (in m/s) would a stationary 1.40 kg squid achieve by ejecting 0.110 kg of water (not included in the squid's mass) at 3.75 m/s? Neglect other forces, including the drag force on the squid. m/
