A jet of water comes out of a fountain. The water's initial velocity has a horizontal component 18 m/s
and a vertical component 13 m/s (up). The water follows a parabolic trajectory, like a cannonball.
What is the maximum height of the water above its starting point?

a). What is the horizontal component of the water's velocity at the highest point in its trajectory?

b)What is the vertical component of the water's velocity at the highest point in its trajectory?

c)How long does it take the water to reach the highest point in its trajectory?

1) Water leaves a fireman’s hose (held near the ground) with an initial velocity v0 = 21.5 m/s at an angle θ = 29° above horizontal. Assume the water acts as a projectile that moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the hose nozzle position. Part (a) Using v0, θ, and g, write an expression for the time, tmax, the water travels to reach its maximum vertical height. Part (b) At what horizontal distance...

For an object being launched at ground level at a tilted non-zero initial velocity, is the velocity zero anywhere? Are the horizontal or vertical components of the velocity zero at any point? What is the shape of this trajectory? (Use the mathematical term). If an object is launched with a strictly horizontal initial velocity, what is the vertical component of the initial velocity? Will an object take longer, less, or the same amount of time to reach the ground if...

A water jet has an actual velocity of 88.256 m/s and a mass flow rate of 17.745 kg/s. This jet strikes an upward curved vane moving at 20 ms–1 in a horizontal direction away from the jet, which deflects the water through an angle of 115º. The impact is shockless. Calculate: (i) the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the fluid leaving the vane; (ii) the thrust on the vane in a horizontal direction; (iii) the thrust on the...

A bullet shot from a small firearm has an initial velocity v0 of 52 m/s at an angle theta = 42 with respect to the horizontal. At the maximum trajectory (max height), we observe that, the bullet explodes into two small pieces both of which are of equal mass. One fragment  immediately after the explosion is therefore zero m/s and it falls vertically. How long (in seconds) does it take the shell to reach this point trajectory (max height)? What is...

An irrigation system has a 2.5 cm diameter hose, which shoots water at 60 ° from the horizontal, at 5.5 m / s, and is placed on the ground. If we think that each droplet moves like a projectile, calculate: a- the maximum height that each droplet rises b- the time it takes to reach its maximum height c- the horizontal reach of the jet measured from the hose pistil
