A stream of water flowing horizontally with a speed of 15 m s–1 gushes out of a tube of cross-sectional area 10–2m2, and hits a vertical wall nearby. What is the force exerted on the wall by the impact of water, assuming it does not rebound?

Given,

Speed of the water stream, v = 15 m/s

Cross-sectional area of the tube, A = 10–2 m2

Volume of water coming out from the pipe per second,

VAv

= 15 × 10–2 m3/s

Density of water, ρ = 103 kg/m

Mass of water flowing out through the pipe per second = ρ ×V

= 150 kg/s

The water strikes the wall and does not rebound.

Therefore, according to Newton's second law of motion,

Force exerted by the water on the wall,

F = Rate of change of momentum =

=

= 150 × 15

= 2250 N

When the branches of an apple tree are shaken, the apples fall down. Why?

The apple fall from an apple tree when it shaken because of inertia of rest. Apple is in a state of rest and when the tree is suddenly shaken, apples still tends to remain in it's same state of rest whereas branches move.

So, the apples fall down.

Define inertia.

The property by virtue of which the body cannot change its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless an external force is acting on the body is called as Inertia.
