Answer:

a) the average water exit velocity is 39.79m/s

b)the horizontal resistance force required of the firefighters to hold the nozzle is 7958N

Explanation:

Given that,

The exit diameter of the nozzle, D = 8cm = 0.08m

The volume water flow rate, Q = 12m³/min = 0.2m³/s

Density of water is 1000kg/m³

a)

V = \frac{Q}{A}

A = πd²/4

 = π(0.08)²/4

 = 5.03 × 10⁻³m₂

V = \frac{0.2}{5.03\times10^-^3} \\\\V = 39.79m/s

Therefore, the average water exit velocity is 39.79m/s

b)Calculate the mass flow rate using the equation below

m=pQ

where

p is the density of water

Q is the flow rate

m = 1000kg/m³ × 0.2m³/s

m = 200kg/s

Now the momentum equation for steady one dimensional flow

\sum \bar F=\sum_{out} \beta m \bar V - \sum_{in} \beta m \bar V

Now the momentum equation along x axis is

F_{Rx}=mV_{exit}\\\\=(200)\times(39.79)\\\\=7958N

Therefore, the horizontal resistance force required of the firefighters to hold the nozzle is 7958N

A car that weighs 1.0 x 10^4 N is initially moving at a speed of 38 km/h when the brakes are applied and the car is brought to a
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Part a) Force on car = 2833.84 Newtons

Part b) Time to stop the car = 3.8 seconds

Part c) Factor for stopping distance is 4.

Part d) Factor for stopping time is 1.

Explanation:

The deceleration produced when the car is brought to rest in 20 meters can be found by third equation of kinematics as

v^2=u^2+2as

where

v = final speed of the car ( = 0 in our case since the car stops)

u = initial speed of the car = 38 km/hr =\frac{38\times 1000}{3600}=10.56m/s

a = deceleration produces

s = distance in which the car stops

Applying the given values we get

0^2=10.56^2+2\times a\times 20\\\\a=\frac{0-10.56^2}{2\times 20}\\\\\therefore a=-2.78m/s^2

Now the force can be obtained using newton's second law as

Force=\frac{Weight}{g}\times a

Applying values we get

Force=\frac{1.0\times 10^4}{9.81}\times -2.78\\\\\therefore F=-2833.84Newtons

The negative direction indicates that the force is opposite to the motion of the object.

Part b)

The time required to stop the car can be found using the first equation of kinematics as

v=u+at with symbols having the same meanings

Applying values we get

0=10.56-2.78\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{10.56}{2.78}=3.8seconds

Part c)

From the developed relation of stopping distance we can see that the for same force( Same acceleration) the stopping distance is proportional to the square of the initial speed thus doubling the initial speed increases the stopping distance 4 times.

Part d)

From the relation of stopping time and the initial speed we can see that the stopping distance is proportional initial speed thus if we double the initial speed the stopping time also doubles.

A ball collides with a vertical, unmovable wall. There is no friction between the wall and the ball (the only force acting on th
user100 [1]

Answer: the same direction I.e to the left.

Explanation:

The component perpendicular to the contact surface is such that will stop the relative motion and, in case of elastic collision like here, return the system to the same kinetic energy. So ball hitting immovable surface will have the same speed (magnitude of velocity) as before the collision.

There will also be parallel force caused by friction, but it has to be treated separately for two reasons:

The perpendicular force is limited to coefficient of friction times the normal force. If that is not enough to stop the ball, it will skid on the surface.The perpendicular force, and this depends on the specific geometry, does not pass through the centre of mass of the ball. Therefore it imparts a moment on the ball that causes it to start rotating. And once the ball is rotating so that the point of contact is stationary, there is no momentum to cause any friction force anymore and the friction force disappears and stops decelerating the ball.

So what happens is that the vertical component of the velocity will be reversed, while the horizontal component will be somewhat reduced with the corresponding amount of kinetic energy transferred to energy of rotation. The rotation will always eliminate the friction force before the horizontal component of velocity is zeroed, so the ball will always continue in the same direction, just a bit slower.

If you instead threw an elastic box (which could not start rotating freely) it could actually bounce back.
