Squids rely on jet propulsion when a rapid escape is necessary, providedthey have filled their mantle with water prior to escape. An empty 1.5kg squid initially drifting at 1.6m/s pulls in 0.10kg of water in its mantle, then ejects this water at a remarkable 45m/s. How fast is this squid moving right after this ejection?
