What I don't understand is that it says that the force acting on the fluid for the hemispherical she'll should be twice that of the plate so (2mu) but the results I got shows the inverse the force acting in the flat plate (mu) are twice the one acting on the hemispherical plate and like I said...
Introduction
This experiment uses water jets impacting on metal plates to look at Newton’s second law.
Aim
The aim of the experiment is to compare the forces acting on the two metal plates.
Background and Analysis
Newton’s second law of motion states that the force acting on a body is equal to...
So I did this lab on momentum on jets and the theory is that "a force is applied on the plate due to change of momentum" the jet both impacted on a flat plate and on a hemispherical plate; now i understand that the greater the angle of deflection of the water jet, the greater the change of...
