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 sprinter starts from rest and runs with constant acceleration to a top speed of 12m/s in 4.0 seconds.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

  a =  3,0 m/s²

Explanation:

En este ejercicio se pide calcular la aceleracion del cuerpo, usemos las ecuaciones de cinematica en una dimensión.

          v= v₀ + a t

como el corredor parte del reposo si velocidad inicial es cero

           v =  at

           a = v/t

calculemos

          a = 12 /4,0

          a =  3,0 m/s²

A ray of light traveling through air strikes a piece of diamond at an angle of incidence equal to 56 degrees. Calculate the angu
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The angle of separation is  \Delta \theta =  0.93 ^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The angle of incidence is  \theta  _ i  = 56^o

     The refractive index of violet light  in diamond  is  n_v = 2.46

       The refractive index of red light in diamond is n_r = 2.41

      The wavelength of violet light is  \lambda _v = 400nm = 400*10^{-9}m

         The wavelength of red  light is  \lambda _r = 700nm = 700*10^{-9}m

Snell's  Law can be represented mathematically as

         \frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_r} = n

Where \theta_r is the angle of refraction

=>       sin \theta_r  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n}

Now considering violet light

               sin \theta_r__{v}}  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_v}

substituting values

                sin \theta_r__{v}}  =   \frac{sin (56)}{2.46}

                 sin \theta_r__{v}}  =  0.337

                 \theta_r__{v}}  =  sin ^{-1} (0.337)

                 \theta_r__{v}}  =  19.69^o

Now considering red light

               sin \theta_r__{R}}  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_r}

substituting values

                sin \theta_r__{R}}  =   \frac{sin (56)}{2.41}

                 sin \theta_r__{R}}  =  0.344

                 \theta_r__{R}}  =  sin ^{-1} (0.344)

                 \theta_r__{R}}  = 20.12^o

The angle of separation between the red light and the violet light is mathematically evaluated as

                  \Delta \theta = \theta_r__{R}} -  \theta_r__{V}}

substituting values

                  \Delta \theta =20.12 - 19.69

                  \Delta \theta =  0.93 ^o

What is my displacement if i walked 200 meters west then turned around and walked 150 meters east
Alinara [238K]
You're walking in one direction, and then the exact opposite of that direction, so you simply have to subtract the two distances. 
200-150=50
You're 50 meters west of where you originally started.
You're west because 200 meters west is greater than 150 meters east. If the distance walked east was greater than the distance walked west, you would've been east of your starting position.
