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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a)α= 53.13°

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

The acceleration at the highest point = 9.8[tex]m/s^2[/tex]

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[tex]m/s^2[/tex]

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

      Vo= 25 sin 53.13°

Vo =20 m/s

[tex]h=V_o.t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

[tex]h=20\times 3-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10\times 3^2[/tex]

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

[tex]V=\sqrt{10^2+15^2}\ m/s[/tex]

V=18.02 m/s

The answers are as follows:

(a) The value of angle α is 53.13°

(b)The velocity at the highest point is 15 m/s and the acceleration at the highest point is 9.8m/s²

(c)The water strikes the building at a height of 15 m with a velocity of 18 m/s

Projectile Motion:

The given problem is a case of projectile motion. Now the data we have been provided is as follows.

Speed of water ,u= 25 m/s

The horizontal component of speed uₓ = ucosα

The horizontal distance is d= 45 m.

And time t = 3s

In horizontal direction

Distance = Velocity x time,

since there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction

[tex]d=u_x\times t\\\\45 = u cos\alpha \times3\\\\u cos \alpha = 45\\\\45 = 25 cos \alpha \times 3\\\\cos \alpha = 45/75\\\\\alpha= 53.13^o[/tex]

The velocity at the highest point will only be the horizontal velocity since at the highest point vertical velocity is zero, that is:

[tex]u_x=u\times cos53.13= 15m/s[/tex]

The acceleration at the highest point is g = 9.8m/s²

The vertical component of velocity

[tex]u_y=usin\53.13^o=25\times sin53.13\\\\u_y=20m/s[/tex]

Now using the second equation motion, the height h is given by:

[tex]h=u_yt-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\\\h=20\times3-0.5\times9.8\times3^2\\\\h\approx15m[/tex]

So the water strikes at a height of 15m.

The horizontal velocity after 3 sec remains the same [tex]v_x=u_x=15m/s[/tex].

From the first equation of motion, the vertical velocity after 3 seconds becomes:

[tex]v_y= u_y - g t\\\\v_y = 20 - 10 \times 3\\\\v_y= -10 m/s[/tex]

So the resultant velocity after 3 sec will be;

[tex]v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}\\\\v=\sqrt{15^2+(-10)^2}\\ \\ v=18m/s[/tex]

So the water strikes at a velocity of 18m/s.
