Textbook Question
Chapter P.2, Problem 13P
Squid Propulsion
Squid usually move by using their tins, but they can utilize a form of “jet propulsion,” ejecting water at high speed to rocket them backward, as shown in Figure II.I. A 4.0 kg squid can slowly draw in and then quickly eject 0.30 kg of water. The water is ejected in 0.10 s at a speed of 10 m/s. This gives the squid a quick burst of speed to evade predators or catch prey.
FIGURE II.1
What is the speed of the squid immediately after the water is ejected?
A. 10 m/s
B. 7.5 m/s
C. 1.3 m/s
C. 1.3 m/s
D. 0.75 m/s

1. In the linear momentum lab, at one point, we oriented the carts on the track so that their bumpers with the magnets inside were facing each other. As they collided towards one another, the energy became stored within the magnets as they approached so closely to each other. Then the carts were repelled away from each other as they continued on from the collision. This is an example of:
a) elastic collision
b) inelastic collision
2. At a different point in the linear momentum lab, we then switched the orientation of the carts on the track so that their bumpers with Velcro on the front were facing each other. As they collided towards one another, the Velcro on the bumpers made contact with each other and the carts remained stuck together for the remainder of their motion on the track. This is an example of:
a) elastic collision
b) inelastic collision
A more ordinary example of conservation of momentum than a rocket ship occurs in a kitchen dishwashing machine. In this device, water at high pressure is forced out of small holes on the spray arms. Use conservation of momentum to explain why the arms rotate, directing water to all the dishes. 8 (a) If two automobiles collide, they usually do not stick together. Does this mean the collision is elastic? (b) Explain why a head-on collision is likely to be more dangerous than other types of collisions.
An object initially at rest breaks into two pieces as the result of an explosion. Piece 1has twice the kinetic energy of piece 2. (a) If piece 1 has a momentum of magnitudep, what is the magnitude of the momentum of piece 2? Explain. (b) If the mass ofpiece 1 is m, what is the mass of piece 2? Explain.

In particular, Nate would often don a protective suit of Bounce-Tex, which he invented, and after working up a high speed on his skateboard, would collide with some object. In this way, he got a gut feel for the physical properties of collisions and succeeded in combining his two passions.* On one occasion, the Skate, with a mass of 119 kg, including his armor, hurled himself against an 865 kg stationary statue of Isaac Newton in a perfectly elastic linear collision. As a result, Isaac started moving at 1.03 m/s and Nate bounced backward. What were Nate's speeds immediately before and after the collision? (Enter positive numbers). Ignore friction with the ground. what was the speed before in m/s? what was the speed after in m/s?arrow_forwardNate the Skate was an avid physics student whose main non‑physics interest in life was high‑speed skateboarding.
