A fire hose ejects a stream of water at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. The water leaves the nozzle with a speed of 25.

0 m/s. Assuming that the water behaves like a projectile, how far from a building should the fire hose be located to hit the highest possible fire?

Answer:

The fire hose be located 59.80 m away to hit the highest possible fire.

Explanation:

Vertical velocity = 25 sin35 = 14.34 m/s

Acceleration = -9.81m/s²

At maximum height , final vertical velocity = 0 m/s

We have v = u + at

Substituting

           0 = 14.34 - 9.81 x t

           t = 1.46 s

Time of flight of water = 2 x 1.46 = 2.92 s

Horizontal velocity = 25 cos35 = 20.48 m/s

Horizontal displacement = 20.48 x 2.92 = 59.80 m

So, the fire hose be located 59.80 m away to hit the highest possible fire.

An object with non-zero mass (even negligible mass is non-zero) will never reach the speed of light. Due to relativistic effects, each "unit" of acceleration becomes less effective at increasing your velocity (relative to some other object, of course) as your relative velocity approaches the speed of light.

And even if there was a way, If you would accelerate to the 99,99% of the speed light in just 1 second, you would experience a G-force of aprox. 30,600,000 g's which is enough to kill you in a few seconds

a baseball player is dashing toward home plate with a speed of 200 feet per hour. When he decides to hit the dirt. he slides for
Serggg [28]

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic formula for the final velocity.


V_f_x = V_0_x + a_xt


The final speed is 0 at the moment the player stops.


The time until it stops is 1.3 s


The initial speed is 200 feet / s  Note (check the speed units in the problem statement, 200ft / s is very much and 200ft / h is very small)

Then, we clear the formula.


a_x = \frac{(Vfx-V0x)}{t}\\ a_x = \frac{(0-200)}{1.3}\\ a_x = -153.5 ft / s ^ 2

Because the player is slowing down, the acceleration goes in the opposite direction to the player's movement, and that is why it is negative.



To answer part b) we use the following formula.


Vf ^ 2 = Vo ^ 2 + 2a * (x_2 - x_1)\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= \frac{(V_f ^ 2-V_0 ^ 2)}{2a}\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= \frac{(0-200 ^ 2)}{- 2 * 153.5}\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= 130.29 feet

irakobra [83]

Answer:

λ = 3.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 320 nm

Explanation:

The relationship between the velocity of electromagnetic waves (UV rays) and the their frequency is:

v = fλ

where,

v = c = speed of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = speed of light

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = 9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz

λ = wavelength of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = ?

Therefore, substituting the values in the relation, we get:

3 x 10⁸ m/s = (9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz)(λ)

λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz)

<u>λ = 3.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 320 nm</u>

So, the radiation of <u>320 nm</u> wavelength is absorbed by Ozone.
