Firemen are shooting a stream of water at a burning buildingusing a high-pressure hose that shoots out the water with a speedof 25.0 m/s. as it leaves the end of the hose. Once it leaves thehose, the water moves in projectile motion. The firemen adjust theangle of elevation α of the hose until the water takes3.00 s to reach the building 45.0 m away. You can ignore airresistance; assume that the end of the hose is at grounglevel.
a) Find the angle of elevation αb) Find the speed and acceleration of the water at the highestpoint in its trajectoryc) How high above the ground does the water strike thebuilding, and how fast is it moving just before it hits thebuilding?

Explanation:

Given

Firemen shoot the water stream at an angle of \alpha

launch speed

it takes it to reach the building

Building is   from launch point

Considering horizontal motion

(b)At highest point vertical velocity becomes zero and there is only horizontal velocity

net acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity which will be acting downward

(c)height reached by water stream is given by

where,  

y=displacement

u=initial velocity  in vertical direction

a=acceleration

t=time

net velocity at this instant is the vector sum of vertical and horizontal velocity

vertical velocity

Horizontal velocity

net velocity

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
