Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against a wall at a rate of 69.4 kg/s and a speed of 19.6 m/s. Calculate the mag

Answer:

Force, |F| = 1360.24 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against a wall at a rate of 69.4 kg/s, $\dfrac{m}{t}=69.4\ kg/s$

Initial speed of the water, u = 19.6 m/s

Finally water comes to stop, v = 0

To find,

The magnitude of the force exerted on the wall.

Solution,

Let F is the force exerted on the wall. The product of mass and acceleration is called the force exerted. Using second law of motion to find it as :

$F=m\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$F=\dfrac{-mu}{t}$

$F=-69.4\ kg/s\times 19.6\ m/s$

|F| = 1360.24 N

So, the magnitude of the force exerted on the wall is 1360.24 N.

A farmer lifts his hay bales into the top loft of his barn by walking his horse forward with a constant velocity of 1 ft/s. Dete

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The velocity of the hay bale is - 0.5 ft/s and the acceleration is $6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Constant velocity of the horse in the horizontal, $v_{x} = 1 ft/s$

Distance of the horse on the horizontal axis, x = 10 ft

Vertical distance, y = 20 ft

Now,

Apply Pythagoras theorem to find the length:

$20^{2} + 10^{2} = l^{2}$

$l^{2}= 500$

Now,

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 500$ (1)

Differentiating equation (1) w.r.t 't':

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = 0$

$x\frac{dx}{dt} = - y\frac{dy}{dt}$

where

$\frac{dx}{dt}$ = Rate of change of displacement along the horizontal

$\frac{dy}{dt}$ = Rate of change of displacement along the vertical

$v_{x}$ = velocity along the x-axis.

$v_{y}$ = velocity along the y-axis

$xv_{x} = -yv_{y}$

$v_{y} = - 10\times \frac{1}{20} = - 0.5 ft/s$

$|v_{y}| = 0.5\ ft/s$

Acceleration of the hay bale is given by the kinematic equation:

$v_{y}^{2} = u_{y} + 2ay$

$(-0.5)^{2} =0 + 2ay$

$0.25 = 2ay$

$\frac{0.25}{2y} = a$

$a = \frac{0.25}{2\times 20} = 6.25\times 10^{- 3} ft/s^{2}$

Joanna learned from customer satisfaction surveys that diners in her restaurant wanted to be able to make substitutions. She has

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

standards

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question in regards to the situation at hand it can be said that Joanna is demonstrating a standards gap. this is a gap caused by the difference between the customer service standards a company has created for itself and the expectations the company believes that the customers have for that company. Since Joanna did not tell all the servers of the customers expectations then the ones who do not know will not be able to provide this service to those customers, thus the restaurant will not be able to meet it's customer service standards.

A light ray travels in the +x direction and strikes a slanted surface with an angle of 62° between its normal and the ty axis. T

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

- 0.6

Explanation:

Given that angle between normal y axis is 62° so angle between normal

and x axis will be 90- 62 = 28 °. Since incident ray is along x axis , 28 ° will be the angle between incident ray and normal ie it will be angle of incidence

Angle of incidence = 28 °

angle of reflection = 28°

Angle between incident ray and reflected ray = 28 + 28 = 56 °

Angle between x axis and reflected ray = 56 °

x component of reflected ray

= - cos 56 ( it will be towards - ve x axis. )
