Squids rely on jet propulsion to move around. A 1.50 kg

Chapter 11, Problem 11.82

(choose chapter or problem)

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 0.10 kg of water to 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 waters ejection speed relative to the squid?
