If the speed of the stream as it leaves the hose is 40.0 m/s, at what height will the stream of water strike the building? *Must include big six list for both x and y direction*
A cannon is fired at an angle of 44°44° with the horizontal. If the cannonball has an initial velocity of 724 feet per second, how far (horizontally) will the shot travel? Assume the initial height of the projectile is 0 feet, and neglect air resistance.
A firefighter, 50.0 m from a burning building, directs a jet of water from a fire hose located at ground level at an angle of 30 ° above the horizontal. If the speed of the jet is 40.0 m / s, how high does the jet of water reach the building?
A firefighting crew uses a water cannon that shoots water at 27.0 m/s at a fixed angle of 50.0 ∘ above the horizontal. The firefighters want to direct the water at a blaze that is 12.0 m above ground level. How far from the building should they position their cannon? There are two possibilities (d1<d2); can you get them both? (Hint: Start with a sketch showing the trajectory of the water.) Part A: d1=_____m Part B: d2=______m
A man points his rowboat north, straight across a river of width 114.3 m. The river flows due east. The man starts across, rowing steadily at 0.90 m/s @ north and reaches the other side of the river at a point 207 m downstream from his starting point. What is the speed of the river?
A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff 125 m above ground level with an initial speed of 105 m/s at an angle of 37º with the horizontal. (a) Determine the time taken by the projectile to hit the ground. (b) Determine the range of the projectile as measured from the base of the cliff. At the instant just before the projectile hits the ground, find (c) the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity, (d) the magnitude of the velocity, and (e) the angle made by the velocity vector with the horizontal.
