Hose Problem

The aim of this task is to use a hose, shooting out water at 10ms-1 and watch the changes in the flow of water at different positioning angles of the hose.
From this we will be able to obtain some knowledge of the graphs the water jet forms and its equations.
We will mathematically observe the actions of the water, but certain assumptions are made.
If the water jet was shot in real life there would be outside factors involved, such as:
Length of hose might decrease the speed of the jet
Jet not shooting straight and/or shooting some water to the side so the measurements are inaccurate
Wind influencing the movement of the water stream.
Different gravitational pulls at different heights.

In this problem-solving task these things are ignored and perfect conditions are assumed.

For increased ...
