Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against at a rate of 50.0 kg/s and a speed of 42.0 m/s.
1 answer:
Answer:
Force, |F| = 2100 N
Explanation:
It is given that,
Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against at a rate of 50.0 kg/s,
Initial speed, v = 42 m/s
The momentum is reduced to zero, final speed, v = 0
The relation between the force and the momentum is given by :
|F| = 2100 N
So, the magnitude of the force exerted on the wall is 2100 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:
The decibel of the remaining pigs is 51.5 dB.
Explanation:
Decibel (dB) is a unit of measure of the intensity of a given sound.
Number of pigs = 199, noise level = 74.3 dB.
Given that the intensity (I) of the sound from the pen is proportional to the number of pigs (N), thus:
I N
I = kN
where k is the constant of proportionality.
⇒ k =
=
k = 0.3734
When 61 numbers of pigs were removed, the number of remaining pigs (N) squealing at their original level is 138.
Thus, the becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs can be determined by:
I = kN
= 0.3734 × 138
= 51.53 dB
The becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs is 51.53 dB.
