A firefighter mounts the nozzle of his fire hose a distance 36.9 m away from the edge of a burning building so that it sprays fr

om ground level at a 45° angle above the horizontal. After quenching a hotspot at a height of 8.85 m, the firefighter adjusts the nozzle diameter so that the water hits the building at a height of 17.9 m. By what factor was the nozzle diameter changed? Assume that the diameter of the hose stays the same, and treat the water as an ideal fluid.

The nozzle diameter changed by a factor of 0.907

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration (m / s²)v = final velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>u = initial velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>t = time taken (s)</em>

<em>d = distance (m)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

horizontal distance = x = 36.9 m

angle of projection = θ = 45°

initial height = y₁ = 8.85 m

final height = y₂ = 17.9 m

<u>Asked:</u>

ratio of nozzle diameter = d₂ : d₁ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>The motion of the water is a </em><em>parabolic motion.</em>

<em>Firstly, we will calculate the time taken for the water to reach the hotspot:</em>

x = (u \cos \theta) t

t = x \div ( u \cos \theta )

t = x \div ( u \cos 45^o )

\boxed {t = \frac{\sqrt{2}x}{u}}

\texttt{ }

<em>Next , we could calculate the initial speed (u) of the water as it leaves the nozzle:</em>

y = (u \sin \theta) t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

y = (u \sin 45^o)( \frac{\sqrt{2}x}{u} ) - \frac{1}{2}g ( \frac{\sqrt{2}x}{u} )^2

y = x - \frac{gx^2}{u^2}

\frac{gx^2}{u^2} = x - y

u^2 = \frac{gx^2}{x - y }

u = \sqrt{ \frac{gx^2}{x - y } }

\boxed {u = x \sqrt{ \frac{g}{x - y} }}

\texttt{ }

<em>Finally , we could find the ratio of the diameter by using </em><em>Continuity Equation</em><em> as follows:</em>

u_1 A_1 = u_2 A_2

u_1 \frac{1}{4} \pi (d_1)^2 = u_2 \frac{1}{4} \pi (d_2)^2

(d_2)^2 : (d_1)^2 = u_1 : u_2

(d_2)^2 : (d_1)^2 = x \sqrt{ \frac{g}{x - y_1} } : x \sqrt{ \frac{g}{x - y_2} }

(d_2)^2 : (d_1)^2 = \sqrt { x - y_2 } : \sqrt { x - y_1}

\frac {d_2}{d_1} = \sqrt[4] { \frac {x - y_2} {x - y_1} }

\frac {d_2}{d_1} = \sqrt[4] { \frac {36.9 - 17.9} {36.9 - 8.85} }

\frac {d_2}{d_1} \approx 0.907

d_2 \approx 0.907 \times d_1

Answer:

diameter is decreased by factor 0.91

Explanation:

As we know by the equation of trajectory

y = xtan\theta - \frac{gx^2}{2v^2cos^2\theta}

here as per first given situation we know that

x = 36.9 m

y = 8.85 m

\theta = 45^0

now from above equation we have

8.85 = 36.9 tan45 - \frac{(9.8)(36.9)^2}{2(v^2)cos^245}

8.85 = 36.9 - \frac{13343.8}{v^2}

\frac{13343.8}{v^2} = 28.05

v = 21.8 m/s

now similarly after nozzle is adjusted we have

y = 17.9 m

x = 36.9 m

\theta = 45^0

now again from equation we have

17.9 = 36.9 tan45 - \frac{(9.8)(36.9)^2}{2(v'^2)cos^245}

17.9 = 36.9 - \frac{13343.8}{v'^2}

\frac{13343.8}{v'^2} = 19

v' = 26.5 m/s

Now by equation of continuity we can find the change in diameter

as we know that

A_1v_1 = A_2v_2

now we have

\pi d_1^2 v_1 = \pi d_2^2 v_2

d_1^2 (21.8) = d_2^2(26.5)

\frac{d_1}{d_2} = \sqrt{\frac{26.5}{21.8}}

\frac{d_1}{d_2} = 1.10

so we have

\frac{d_2}{d_1} = 0.91

so diameter is decreased by factor of 0.91

Len [333]

Answer:

D. Nothing will happen; the seesaw will still be balanced.

Explanation:

D. Nothing will happen; the seesaw will still be balanced. Since both toruqes or momentums respect to the center have changed in the same amount (one-half their original distance) the seesaw will remain balanced, if the children change distance in a different amount then it will be out of balance
