Title: Without using a water meter, how would you find the speed of water coming out of a hose? Post by: ff.marquis on May 9, 2013 I guess water coming out of a hose could be considered a projectile (using v=d/t and the other formulas).. right? But it is a little difficult to measure the time that it takes the water to reach the ground. Is there a way around this?
Title: Without using a water meter, how would you find the speed of water coming out of a hose? Post by: smileyprincess111 on May 9, 2013 measure how high the water goes when the hose is held up. You have initial velocity, V, and acceleration = -g. You know the distance, h. Find the balance and solve for V.
