Question

This is the second time I am submitting this problem. Please do not give me the same answer that I got previously, as shown in the answer box of the problem screenshot. I also tried the negative of that same answer and it did not work either.

Problem 11.46 Part A Squids rely on jet propulsion to move around. A 1.50 kg squid (including the mass of water inside the squid) drifting at 0.40 m/s suddenly ejects 0.17 kg of water to quickly get itself moving at 2.50 m/s. If drag is ignored over the small interval of time needed to expel the water (the impulse approximation) what is the water's ejection speed relative to the squid? Express your answer with the appropriate units. v= 22.058 llm Submit My Answers Give Up Incorrect; Try Again; no points deducted Provide Feedback Continue

Explanation / Answer

from conservation of momentum

1.5*0.4 = (1.5-0.17)*2.5+0.17(v+2.5)

0.6 = 3.325+0.425+v*0.17

v = -18.529 m/s
