Question

Water flows through a garden hose which is attached to a nozzle. The water flows through hose with a speed of 1.81 m/s and through the nozzle with a speed of 18.3 m/s. Calculate the maximum height (in m) to which water could be squirted if it emerges from the nozzle and emerges with the nozzle removed. (a) Emerges from the nozzle. m (b) Emerges with the nozzle removed, assuming the same flow rate. m

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 17.086m

b) 0.1671 m

Explanation:

Given data: speed of water through the hose  = 1.81 m/s

through the nozzle = 18.3 m/s

We know that maximum height of an object with upward velocity v is given by,

a) H = v^2/2g

where H is the maximum height water emerges  

= 18.3^2/(2×9.8) = 17.086 m answer

b) Again,  

H = v^2/2g

= 1.81^2/(2×9.8) = 0.1671 m
