An 'anti-drowning' bracelet is a water safety device. It contains a CO2 cartridge that can quickly inflate an airbag to help a diver rise to the surface in an emergency situation. Robert Irwin (son of "The ID: 2 0 1 Rep: 2 1 0 Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin) is snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef Eq: 1 0 (Pseawater 1029 kg/m3). He swims 5.0 m below the surface of the water when there is an emergency and he activates the bracelet. The mass of Robert and his gear is 69.2 kg and the volume of salt water he displaces is 0.07 m3 before the safety device is activated. Once he activates the device, it inflates to a volume of 0.01 m3.

A squid is drifting at 1 mph to the right and squirts out 100 ml of water. The squid plus water weigh 1.5 kilograms. This squid has a growth that narrows and distorts the orifice so that the water exits the squid at an angle of 30 degrees to the direction of travel and at a speed of 80mph. What is the new speed and direction of the squid after it expels the water?
