Question

3. The nozzle on the end of a firehose is \( 50 \mathrm{ft} \) from a vertical wall and makes an angle of 50 degrees with the horizontal. The water velocity leaving the nozzle is \( 100 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{sec} \). How high above the nozzle will the water stream hit the wall?

a-hose-lying-on-the-ground-shoots-a-stream-of-water-upward-at-an-angle-of-40circ-to-the-horizontal-t

A hose lying on the ground shoots a stream of water upward at an angle of $40^{\circ}$ to the horizontal. The speed of the water is $20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ as it leaves the hose. How high up will it strike a wall that is a horizontal distance of $8.0 \mathrm{~m}$ away?

a-fireman-500-mathrmm-away-from-a-burning-building-directs-a-stream-of-water-from-a-ground-level-fir

A fireman $50.0 \mathrm{~m}$ away from a burning building directs a stream of water from a ground-level fire hose at an angle of $30.0^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. If the speed of the stream as it leaves the hose is $40.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$, at what height will the stream of water strike the building?
