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

A circuit contains two devices that are connected in parallel. If the resistance of one of these devices is 12 ohms and the resi
finlep [7]

<u>Answer</u>

3 Ohms

<u>Explanation</u>

when the resistors are in series, the resistance in the circuit increases. For example, if two resistors, R1 and R2 are in series, the combined resistance is R1+R2.

When connected in parallel, the total resistance is the reciprocal of (1/R1 + 1/R2)

In this case the resistors are in parallel.

Total resistance = (1/12 + 1/4)⁻¹

= (1/3)⁻¹

= 3 Ohms

Based on Newton's law of motion, which combination of rocket bodies and engine will result in the acceleration of 40 m/s ^2 at t
ad-work [718]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

The Rocket Club is planning to launch a pair of model rockets. To build the rocket, the club needs a rocket body paired with an engine. The table lists the mass of three possible rocket bodies and the force generated by three possible engines.

A 4-column table with 3 rows. The first column labeled Body has entries 1, 2, 3. The second column labeled Mass (grams) has entries 500, 1500, 750. The third column labeled Engine has entries 1, 2, 3. The fourth column labeled Force (Newtons) has entries 25, 20, 30.

Based on Newton’s laws of motion, which combination of rocket bodies and engines will result in the acceleration of 40 m/s2 at the start of the launch?

Body 3 + Engine 1

Body 2 + Engine 2

Body 1 + Engine 2

Body 1 + Engine 1

Solution :

Given :

Body       Mass (gram)     Engine      Force (newtons)

1                   500                 1                     25

2                  1500                2                    20

3                  750                  3                    30

The body 1 has a mass of 500 gram which is equal to 0.5 kg

And engine 2 has a force of 20 newtons.

We know that according to Newton's laws of motion,

Force = mass x acceleration

 20    = 0.5 x acceleration

Acceleration $=\frac{20}{0.5}$

                      $=\frac{200}{5}$

                      $= 40 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, based on laws of motion of Newton, the Body 1 + Engine 2 combination of the rocket bodies and engines will result in an acceleration of $ 40 \ m/s^2$ at the start of the launch.
