Question

Give reason as to why it is difficult for a fireman to hold the hose which ejects a large amount of water in high velocity

Answer 1

1. Due to the backward reaction of the water being ejected.
2. when a fireman holds a hose, which is ejecting large amount of water at a high velocity then reaction of forces exerted on him by the ejecting water in the backward direction
3.this is because of Newton's third law of motion as a result of the backward force, the
stability of the following decreases
4. hence, it is difficult for him to remain stable by holding hose

Answer 2

Explanation:

When large amount of water is ejected from a hose at a high velocity, according to Newton’s Third Law of Motion, water pushes the hose in backward direction with the same force. Therefore, it is difficult for a fireman to hold a hose in which ejects large amount of water at a high velocity.
