Firemen are shooting a stream of water at a burning build-ing using a high-pressure hose that shoots out the water with aspeed of 25.0 m/s as it leaves the end of the hose. Once it leavesthe hose, the water moves in projectile motion. The firemen adjustthe angle of elevation a of the hose until the water takes 3.00 s toreach a building 45.0 m away. You can ignore air resistance;assume that the end of the hose is at ground level. (a) Find theangle of elevation a. (b) Find the speed and acceleration of the waterat the highest point in its trajectory. (c) How high above the grounddoes the water strike the building, and how fast is it moving justbefore it hits the building?

To solve this problem, we need to use the equations of motion for projectile motion. Let's first…
