Firemen are shooting a stream of water at a burning building. A high-pressure hose shoots out the water with a speed of 26.0 as it leaves the hose nozzle. Once it leaves the hose, the water moves in projectile motion. The firemen adjust the angle of elevation of the hose until the water takes 3.00 to reach a building 41.0 away. You can ignore air resistance; assume that the end of the hose is at ground level.

Water leaves a fireman's hose (held near the ground) with an initial velocity at an angle above the horizontal. Assume the water acts as a projectile that moves without air resistance. Use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the hose nozzle position.

a) Using and , write an expression for the time the water travels to reach its maximum vertical height.

b) At what horizontal distance from the building base, where should the fireman place the hose for the water to reach its maximum height as it strikes the building? Express this distance, , in terms of  and .    

A fireman 50.0 m away from a burning building directs a streamof water from a ground-level fire hose at an angle of 30.0° abovethe horizontal. If the speed of the stream as it leaves the hose is40.0 m/s, at what height will the stream of water strike thebuilding?

A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.80g projectile. The spring is originally compressed by 8.00cm and has a force constant of 15.54 N/m. When the spring is released, the projectile slides 15.0cm through the barrel of the cannon where the barrel exerts a constant fictional force on the projectile. The projectile leaves the barrel of the cannon with a speed of 3.50m/s. The barrel of the cannon makes a 60 degree angle with respect to the horizontal surface. Neglect any air resistance or any rotational effects. Assume that the projectile's starting elevation is at ground level. What is the force of kinetic friction between the projectile and the barrel of the cannon? What is the maximum height of the projectile above ground level during its flight? How long does it take the projectile to reach its height?
