A firefighting crew uses a water cannon that shoots water at 29.0 m/s at a fixed angle of 47.0° 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.)

Firefighters use a high-pressure hose to shoot a stream of water at a burning building. The water has a speed of 25.0 m/s as it leaves the end of the hose and then exhibits projectile motion. The firefighters adjust the angle of elevation a of the hose until the water takes 3.00 s to reach a building 45.0 m away. Ignore air resistance; assume that the end of the hose is at ground level. (a) Find a. (b) Find the speed and acceleration of the water at the highest point in its trajectory. (c) How high above the ground does the water strike the building, and how fast is it moving just before it hits the building?
