Question: The squid, weighing 5 . 0 0 kg , ejects 0 . 2 5 0 kg of water at a speed of 1 0 .

The squid, weighing 5.00 kg, ejects 0.250 kg of water at a speed of
10.0 m/s relative to its body. This quick burst of water helps the squid move, but
its motion is slowed by the water's resistance (a frictional force of 5.00 N).
Determine
i. The recoil velocity of the squid if the ejection is done at 0.100s
[6 points]
ii. Energy lost to work done against friction.
