A city holding tank for water sits 21.0 above the city. If a house near the holding tank was on fire, to what height would firefighters have to drain the tank so water sprayed from the bottom of the tank hits the top of the house at its center, 10.0 m above the ground and 12.0 m away?
QUESTION 2
Consider the water tank from the previous question. What is the speed (in m/s) of the water as it leaves the bottom of the tank?
QUESTION 3
Assume the tank from the previous questions is sealed airtight with an air gap between the water's surface and the top of the tank. The air pressure in the air gap is 25.0 kPa, while atmospheric pressure outside the tank is 101.4 kPa. Assuming the velocity of the water level in the tank is effectively zero, to what height will firefighters now need to drain the tank so water hits the burning house? (Assume the density of the water is 1000 kg/m3. Report your answer to two decimal places.)
If a water particle in a stream of water in a fountain takes 0.35s to travel from spout to receptacle when shot at an angle of 67 degrees and an initial speed of 5.0 m/s, what is the vertical distance between the levels of the fountain.
Firemen 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 firemen 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?
