4.149 Starting from rest, the cart shown is propelled by a hydraulic catapult (liquid jet). The jet strikes the curved surface and makes a 180° turn, leaving horizontally. Air and rolling resistance may be neglected. If the mass of the cart is 100 kg and the jet of water leaves the nozzle (of area 0.001 m²) with a speed of 35 m/s, determine the speed of the cart 5 s after the jet is directed against the cart. Plot the cart speed as a function of time.

Consider an airplane with a jet engine attached to the tail section that expels combustion gases at a rate of 18 kg/s with a velocity of V = 300 m/s relative to the plane (Fig. 2).
