Textbook Question
Chapter P.2, Problem 16P
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
This form of locomotion is speedy, but is it efficient? The energy that the squid expends goes two places: the kinetic energy of the squid and the kinetic energy of the water. Think about how to define “what you get" and “what you had to pay"; then calculate an efficiency for this particular form of locomotion. (You can ignore biomechanical efficiency for this problem.)

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.
1a)A 4.50 kg ball rolling north at 5.00 m/s collides with a 2.50 kg ball rolling south at 3.00m/s. If the collision is elastic, set up the equations you would solve to determine how fast is each ball moving after the collision.
1b)If the collision between the two balls in question (1a) instead results in both balls sticking together as one, what will their resulting velocity be?
