A hose ejects the water with speed of 20m/s on the vertical wall.The cross-sectional area of the jet is 5x10^-4. If the density of the water is 1000kg/m3, find the force acting on the wall.(water comes to rest after hitting the wall)

Need help!!
what is the answer? is it 100 N or 200?

u see that train will overtake the other train when there distances will equal.
the 1st train is travelling with constant speed hence no acceleraion
the 2nd train is acclerating from rest hence no inital speed
using the formula
s=ut+0.5at^2
for the first train
s=10t
for the train starting from rest
s=0.5*0.5t^2
placing both equations equal to each other.
10t=0.5*0.5*t^2
solve nad get 40s

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU you are a lifesaver

Its 200N how?
concentrate on the base units of each quantity.
u have been provided with
density-kgm^3
velocity-ms^-1
area-m^2
hence find volume of water per seconnd by multiplying velocity and area
then to find mass per second, multiply your volume with density.
now u have kgs^-1 mass per second
using the force=mv/t
force=(m/t)*v
substitute and find the answer

Hey, i have a question!
I took Math in AS and got a "D", now i am planning to drop math and carry on with my A2 with only Physics and ICT.
What field's can i take this way?
Please reply ASAP
