Question

Why it is difficult for a fireman to hold a hose which eject large amount of water at high speed

Answer 1

Answer:

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction..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.

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.
