Why is it difficult for a fireman to hose, which ejects large amount of water at a high velocity?
Answers
Explanation:
When a fireman holds a hose, which is ejecting large amounts of water at a high velocity, then a reaction force is exerted on him by the ejecting water in the backward direction. This is because of Newton’s third law of motion. As a result of the backward force, the stability of the fireman
decreases. Hence, it is difficult for him to remain stable while holding the hose.
Answer:
Newton’s 3rd law of motion: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
When the fireman holds the hose, it has an opposite reaction according to the third law of motion. This backward and an equal reaction on the fireman makes him unstable and finds it difficult to hold the hose.
Thus, due to the opposite reaction of the water with high velocity a fireman finds it difficult to hold the hose.
