Firemen are shooting a stream of water at a burning building using a high-pressure hose that shoots out the water with a speed of 25.0 m/s as it leaves the end of the hose. once it leaves the hose, the water moves in projectile motion. the firemen adjust the angle of elevation α of the hose until the water takes 3.00 s to reach a building 45.0 m away. you can ignore air resistance; assume that the end of the hose is at ground level.
(a) find α.
(b) find the speed and acceleration of the water at the highest point in its trajectory.
(c) how high above the ground does the water strike the building, and how fast is it moving just before it hits the building?

a)α= 53.13°

b)The velocity at the highest point =  15 m/s

The acceleration at the highest point = 9.8

c)h=15 m

V=18.02 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of water ,u= 25 m/s

So the horizontal component of speed u = u cos α

Given that horizontal distance cover by water in 3 s is 45 m.

So We know that in projectile motion horizontal acceleration is zero.

In horizontal direction

Distance = Velocity x time

45 =  u cos α  x 3

u cos α = 45

45 = 25 cos α x 3

 cos α = 45/75

α= 53.13°

So the velocity at the highest point =  u cos α

The velocity at the highest point =  15 m/s

The acceleration at the highest point = 9.8

 Now the velocity along vertical direction(Vo) =  u sin α

      Vo= 25 sin 53.13°

Vo =20 m/s

h=15 m

So at 15 m above the ground water will strike .

The y-component of velocity after 3 sec

Vy= Vo - g t

Vy = 20 - 10 x 3

Vy= -10 m/s

The horizontal component of velocity will remain 15 m/s.

The resultant velocity

V=18.02 m/s

explanation:

the best answer for these questions would be:

1.            c. is smaller

2.            d) concrete operational

3.            b) interaction with the environment – the children interact with their environment can them learn more.

4.            a) parents who reason openly with children can limit a child’s cognitive ability.
