Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against a wall at a rate of 58.1 kg/s and a speed of 43.5 m/s. Calculate the mag

nitude of the force exerted on the wall (in N), assuming the water's horizontal momentum is reduced to zero.

Answer:

F = -2527.35 N

Explanation:

Given,

mass per unit time = 58.1 Kg/s

Speed of the water = 43.5 m/s

Final momentum = 0 kg/s

Force = Change in momentum

F = Final momentum - initial momentum

F = 0 - initial momentum

F = 0 -58.1\times 43.5

F = -2527.35 N

Hence, the Force exerted is equal to F = -2527.35 N

marta [7]
Momentum  is a product mass and velocity. If a certain object posses a kinetic energy, then it should have a momentum since it is moving which has a velocity. However, if the object is at rest and only has potential energy, then it would not have momentum. So, for the first question the answer would be yes, an object can have energy without having any momentum. For the second question, every object whether it is moving or at rest, possess some energy, potential for an object at rest and kinetic for an object that is moving. Thus, the answer would be no, an object having momentum would always have energy.

nadezda [96]
The gravitational acceleration experienced by the bullet due to the earth's gravitational force is approximately equals to 9.81 m/s^2

At maximum point of height, vertical component of velocity equals to zero because it experiences a pause momentarily before coming back down.

Since -acceleration=(Final velocity-initial velocity) divided by time. Taking upwards to be positive, time taken= 10s
