A garden hose shoots water horizontally from the top of a tall building toward the wall of a second building 20 meters away. If the speed with which the water leaves the hose is 5 m/sec, how long does it take the water to reach the second building, and what distance does the water fall in this time?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

If air resistance is ignored, the water travels for a time of

t = d/v = 20 m / 5 m/s = 4 s

falling from vertical rest, the water strikes the wall a distance below the hose

d = ½gt² = ½(10)4² = 80 m

Yeah, I think ignoring air resistance is wishful thinking considering the time and distances involved.
