A fountain shoots a jetof water straight up. The nozzle is 1 cm in diameter and the speed of the water exiting the nozzle is 30 m/s. What is the force exerted by the water jet

Explanation:

mass of water coming out per second = A x v where A is area of cross section of the nozzle and v is velocity of water

A = 3.14 x .005²

= 785 x 10⁻⁷ m²

mass of water coming out per second = 785 x 10⁻⁷ x 30 = 23.55 x 10⁻⁴ kg

momentum of this mass = 23.55 x 10⁻⁴ x 30 = 706.5 x 10⁻⁴ kg m /s .

Rate of change of momentum  = 706.5 x 10⁻⁴

Let force be F

F - mg = 706.5 x 10⁻⁴

F = mg + 706.5 x 10⁻⁴

F =  23.55 x 10⁻⁴  x 9.8 + 706.5 x 10⁻⁴

= 937.3 x 10⁻⁴ N .

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
