Year 10 physics homework problem

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around solving a Year 10 physics homework problem involving projectile motion, specifically analyzing the horizontal launch of water. Participants emphasized the importance of using the SUVAT equations for constant acceleration to determine the distance traveled by a projectile. A link to a resource on SUVAT equations was provided, which ultimately helped the original poster understand and solve the problem. The conversation highlights the necessity of showing attempts in problem-solving as per forum rules.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of projectile motion principles
  • Familiarity with SUVAT equations for constant acceleration
  • Basic knowledge of kinematics
  • Ability to interpret and create motion diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation and application of the SUVAT equations
  • Practice solving projectile motion problems with varying angles and initial speeds
  • Explore resources on kinematics and motion diagrams
  • Learn about the effects of air resistance on projectile motion
USEFUL FOR

Students in Year 10 physics, educators teaching kinematics, and anyone seeking to improve their understanding of projectile motion and the application of SUVAT equations.

Homework Statement
if I want to water a garden bed 6 meters away and the water is coming out of the hose at 8 m/s how high must I hold the hose to reach the garden bed?
Relevant Equations
distance to garden bed: 6 meters
water speed coming out of the hose: 8 meters per second
I got this as homework and I am not sure how to attempt it

Per forum rules, you must show an attempt.
Your diagram has the water coming out horizontally. Are you assuming that?
Would you find it easier if it were throwing a stone? For a given angle, speed and height of throw, how far away would it land?

Thank you for your reply,
unfortunately I have no clue how to attempt this question therefore I have not attempted it. The water is indeed coming out horizontally.

What equations have you been taught for constant acceleration. SUVAT?

I was supposed to find an equation myself
 
Thankyou this has helped a lot i figured it out now
