Calculate kinetic energy transferred

In summary: The Attempt at a Solution says that the fluid left the bottle at a speed of 7.5 ms^-1. You should use the range equation to calculate the time of the trajectory.

Not the final velocity, the initial velocity that the fluid has as it leaves the bottle. That's the 7.5 m/s value. Yes, you apply that speed and the total mass that's been given that speed to the kinetic energy formula.

The final velocity would be the speed of the fluid as it hits the ground at the end of its trajectory.
So is the total mass that has been given the velocity of 7.5 ms^-2 2.24 kg?
