Lolliguncula brevis squid use a form of jet propulsion to swim—they eject water out of jets that can point in different directions, allowing them to change direction quickly. When swimming at a speed of 0.15m/s0.15m/s or greater, they can accelerate at 1.2m/s21.2m/s 2 . (a) Determine the time interval needed for a squid to increase its speed from 0.15m/s0.15m/s to 0.45m/s0.45m/s.
(b) What other questions can you answer using the data?

a) t = 0.25 s,  b)  x = 0.075 m

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we will use kinematic relationships in one dimension

         v = v₀ + a t

in the problem they indicate the initial velocity v₀ = 0.15 m / s, the final velocity v = 0.45 m / s and the acceleration of the squid a = 1.2 m / s²

          t =

we calculate

         t =

         t = 0.25 s

b) We can also find the distance traveled during this acceleration

         v² = v₀² + 2a x

         x =

let's calculate

         x =

         x = 0.075 m

at right angles to each other
