Water from a fire hose is directed toward a building as shown in the figure below. The water leaves the hose at a speed of

vi = 40.0 m/s

and at an angle of

θi = 47.0°

above the horizontal. The base of the hose (at ground level) is a horizontal distance

d = 55.0 m

away from the building. Find the height h (in m) where the water strikes the building.

A firefighter mounts the nozzle of his fire hose a distance 36.9 m away from the edge of a burning building so that it sprays from ground level at a 45° angle above the horizontal. After quenching a hotspot at a height of 9.45 m, the firefighter adjusts the nozzle diameter so that the water hits the building at a height of 17.1 m. By what factor was the nozzle diameter changed? Assume that the flow rate of water through...

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...

1. A fireman is at ground level and 33.5m away from a burning building. He directs a stream of water from a hose at an angle of 27.2o above the horizon, where the speed of the water is 32.9m/s. (a) Assuming that air resistance is negligible, at what height does the water strike the building? (b) How long does it take the water to strike the building after it leaves the hose? 2.

A jet of water squirts out horizontally from a hole near the bottom of the very large tank in the figure. If the height, h, of the water level in the tank is 0.5 m, find the angle that the stream makes with the vertical as it strikes the ground. (The horizontal distance from the bottom of the cylindrical stand to the splash point is unknown.)

A rock is projected from the edge of the top of a building with an initial velocity of 12.2 m/s at an angle of 53° below the horizontal. The rock strikes the ground a horizontal distance of 25 m from the base of the building. Assume that the ground is level and that the side of the building is vertical. How tall is the building?
