A garden hose is attached to a faucet that is fully opened. Without a nozzle on the end of the hose, the water does not shoot very far. However, if you place your thumb over a portion of the end of the hose, it is possible to shoot the water a considerable distance. Explain this phenomenon. (Note: The flowrate decreases as the area covered by your thumb increases.) 8.40

Mass of thin uniform rod is 200 gm and its length is 10 cm. Find its M.I. and radius of gyration about an axis passing through its midpoint and perpendicular to its length.
(The complete question is in the picture) Three masses, given by m1 =1.20 [g], m2 = 2.75 [g], and m3 = [4.50][g] are arrangedin a system shown. The first mass is on a plane inclined by some angle θ = 25.0◦, the second mass ison an elevated horizontal surface, and the third mass ison a second plane inclined by some angle ϕ = 65.0◦.Both inclined surfaces have coefficients of kinetic friction µ1 = 0.24, while the horizontal surface has coefficient µ2 = 0.45. Assuming that m3 moves downward,what is the acceleration of the system?A. -1.76 [m/s2]B. 1.87 [m/s2]C. 2.75 [m/s2]D. 4.41 [m/s2]

I already asked this question and got an answer, but I don't understand in the solution the steps to get to the answer. So, here goes the question again. While walking along a solid ground your speed is v. If your speed becomes v/2 relative to the ground while walking forward over a movable platform, the platform moves with speed ____________ and direction __________. Give speed (in terms of v) and direction (forward or backward) in the blanks.
