(a) A 5.00−kg squid initially at rest ejects 0.250 kg of fluid with a velocity of 10.0 m/s. What is the recoil velocity of the squid if the ejection is done in 0.100 s and there is a 5.00−N frictional force opposing the squid's movement? (b) How much energy is lost to work done against friction?

  1. (a) A 5.00 k g squid initially at rest ejects 0.250 k g of fluid with a velocity of 10.0 m / s . What is the recoil velocity of the squid if the ejection is done in 0.100 s and there is a 5.00 N frictional force opposing the squid's movement? (b) How much energy is lost to work done against friction?
