Answer

30 m

Work Step by Step

This is a projectile motion. The horizontal velocity component remains constant throughout the motion because there isn't an acceleration in the horizontal direction. Let's apply equation 3.5a $S=ut$ in the horizontal direction to find the displacement of the hose from the building x. $\rightarrow S=ut$ $x=Vcos\theta\times t-(1)$ Let's apply equation 3.3b $V=u+at$ in the vertical direction to find the flight time until the water reaches its maximum height. $\uparrow V=u+at$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $0=Vsin\theta +(-g)t$ $t=\frac{Vsin\theta}{g}-(2)$ (2)=>(1), $x=Vcos\theta\times \frac{Vsin\theta}{g}$ $x=\frac{(25\space m/s)^{2}cos35^{\circ}sin35^{\circ}}{9.8\space m/s^{2}}=30\space m$ The displacement of the hose from the building is 30 m
