Transcribed Image Text:The water from a fire hose follows a path described by y=4.0+0.4x-0.20x (units are in metres). If v is constant at 5.0 m/s, find the resultant velocity at the point (2.0.4.
Find the magnitude of the velocity of the water at the point (2.0,40).
The magnitude is approximately 5.4 m/s.
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed)
Find the direction of the velocity of the water at the point (2.0,4.0). Enter an angle 0 such that 0° ≤0<360°
The direction is approximately
(Round to the nearest whole number as needed. Type N if the answer is undefined.)
Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction and given data
The path of water from the fire hose is,
(units are in meters)
And, the constant x-component of velocity, Vx = 5.0
To determine
- The resultant velocity, V at (2.0, 4.0)
- The direction, with the positive x-axis.
