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 car and a truck start from rest at the same instant, with the car initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant acceleration of20m/s2, and the car has an acceleration of3.40m/s2. The car overtakes the truck after the truck has moved60.0m. (a) How much time does it take the car to overtake the truck? (b) How far was the car behind the truck initially? (c) What is the speed of each when they are abreast? (d) On a single graph, sketch the position of each vehicle as a function of time. Takex=0at the initial location of the truck.

Three horizontal ropes pull on a large stone stuck in the ground, producing the vector forces A鈬赌, B鈬赌, andC鈬赌 shown in Fig. P1.60. Find the magnitude and direction of a fourth force on the stone that will make the vector sum of the four forces zero.

Water flows steadily from an open tank as in Fig. P12.81. The elevation of point 1 is 10.0 m, and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m. The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 0.0480 m2; at point 3 it is 0.0160 m2. The area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Assuming that Bernoulli鈥檚 equation applies, compute (a) the discharge rate in cubic meters per second and (b) the gauge pressure at point 2.

The following conversions occur frequently in physics and are very useful. (a) Use 1 mi = 5280 ft and 1 h = 3600 s to convert 60 mph to units of ft/s. (b) The acceleration of a freely falling object is 32 ft/s2. Use 1 ft = 30.48 cm to express this acceleration in units of m/s2. (c) The density of water is 1.0 g/cm3. Convert this density to units of kg/m3.

Given two vectors A鈫�=4.00i^+7.00j^ and B鈫�=5.00i^鈭�7.00j^, (a) find the magnitude of each vector; (b) use unit vectors to write an expression for the vector difference A鈫�鈭�B鈫�; and (c) find the magnitude and direction of the vector difference A鈫�鈭�B鈫�. (d) In a vector diagram showA鈫�,B鈫� and A鈫�鈭�B鈫�, and show that your diagram agrees qualitatively with your answer to part (c).
