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

At the surface of planet X, a 1 kg object weighs 4 N (planet radius R=106m). A space probe passes by planet X with the nearest point (A) at 8R from the center. When the probe was very far away it had a speed of sqrt(2gxR), where gx is the acceleration of gravity at the planet surface. Find a value for the speed of this probe when it is at point A, vA.
A BMX biker wanted to impress his family by catching some air( aka leaving the ground) while riding over a hill in Tennesse with a radius of curvature of 7.6m. If the BMX biker rides over the hill at 11.2 m/s, will she catch some air and excitee her family? B) What is the minimum speed the biker has to travel in order to leave the ground when cresting the hill?
