Chapter 1: Q19E (page 264)

Animal Propulsion. Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracting the cavity to force out the water through an opening. A6.50kg squid (including the water in the cavity) at rest suddenly sees a dangerous predator. (a) If the squid has 1.75kgof water in its cavity, at what speed must it expel this water suddenly to achieve a speed of 2.50m/sto escape the predator? Ignore any drag effects of the surrounding water. (b) How much kinetic energy does the squid create by this maneuver?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The speed of the water expelled is 9.29m/s.

(b) The kinetic energy is75.51J

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Given in the question:

The mass of predator squidis m=6.50kg.

The mass of water to be expelled isM=1.75kg

Change in speed is

鈭�p=m鈭�v=6.5kg2.5m/s=16.25kgm/s

Change in momentum of squid is

02

Law of conservation of momentum:

When two bodies collide each other then the total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision.

03

Step 3:(a) Speed of expelling the water:

Use the conservation of momentum to obtain the speed of the water:

Squids鈥� change in momentum is equal to expelled water momentum change.

p=mv16.25kgm/s=1.75kg脳v

v=16.251.75=9.29m/s

Hence,the speed of the water expelled is9.29m/s

04

(b) Kinetic energy created the squid: 

The energy is calculated as follows:

E=12mv2=12脳1.75kg脳9.29m/s2=75.51J

Hence, the kinetic energy is 75.51J

A certain fuel-efficient hybrid car gets gasoline mileage of 55.0 mpg (miles per gallon). (a) If you are driving this car in Europe and want to compare its mileage with that of other European cars, express this mileage in km/L (1L = liter). Use the conversion factors in Appendix E. (b) If this car鈥檚 gas tank holds 45 L, how many tanks of gas will you use to drive 1500 km?

Planet Vulcan.Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average orbit radius of Mercury. What would be the orbital period of such a planet? (Such a planet was once postulated, in part to explain the precession of Mercury鈥檚 orbit. It was even given the name Vulcan, although we now have no evidence that it actually exists. Mercury鈥檚 precession has been explained by general relativity.)
