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

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!
Igoryamba

While falling, both the sheet of paper and the paper ball experience air resistance. But the surface area of the sheet is much more than that of the spherical ball. And air resistance varies directly with surface area. Hence the sheet experiences more air resistance than the ball and it falls more slowly than the paper ball.

Hope that helps!

Consider an oil droplet of mass m and charge q. We want to determine the charge on the droplet in a Millikan-type experiment. We
Katen [24]

Answer:

q=\frac{mg}{E_o}              

Explanation:

Given:

Charge = <em>q</em>

Electric field strength =E_o

weight of the droplet = <em>mg</em>

The charge is suspended motionless. This is because the electric force on the charge is balanced by the weight of the droplet.

electric force on charged droplet, F=qE_o

This is balanced by the weight, mg

Equating the two:

qE_o=mg\\\Rightarrow q=\frac{mg}{E_o}

What is the value of x in the equation below 1+2e^x+1=9
GuDViN [60]
<h2>Answer: 1.252</h2>

Explanation:

We are given this equation and we need to find the value of x:

1+2e^x+1=9   (1)

Firstly, we have to clear x:

2e^x=9-1-1  

2e^x=7  

e^x=\frac{7}{2}     (2)

Applying<u> Natural Logarithm</u> on both sides of the equation (2):

ln(e^x)=ln(\frac{7}{2})     (3)

xln(e)=ln(\frac{7}{2})     (4)

According to the Natural Logarithm rules xln(e)=x, so (4) can be written as:

x=ln(\frac{7}{2})     (5)

Finally:

x=1.252

If you wanted the pitch of a horn to drop relative to an observer, which way would you move the horn, relative to where that obs
Vladimir [108]
We assume that horn releases sound of constant frequency. In order for observer to observe different frequency either horn or observer or both must move.

This happens due to Doppler effect. It states that when position of source of sound and observer relative to each other changes, the observed frequency also changes. If the source emits sound of constant frequency than observed frequency will be either higher or lower than original.

When distance between source and observer increases the observed frequency will be lower. This is because same number of sound waves must cover greater distance so they have greater wavelength.
When distance between source and observer decreases the observed frequency will be higher. This is because same number of sound waves must cover smaller distance so they have smaller wavelength. 

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional meaning when one increases the other drecreases.

From this explanation we can find answer for our question. <span>If we wanted the pitch of a horn to drop relative to an observer we need to move horn away from an observer.</span>
