Dynamic Action of Jets

Water leaves a hose at a rate of 1.5 kg/s with a speed of 20 m/s and is aimed at the side
of the car, which stops it. What is the force exerted by the water on car?

Given:
vi = 20 m/s
vf = 0
kg
m = 1.5 x 1s = 1.5kg (assuming the time period is 1s)
s
ꕔ t = 1s
F=?

Solution:
F ꕔt = m ꕔv
mꕔ v
F=
ꕔt

F=
1.5 kg ( oms − 20sm )
1s
kg−m
F = -30 or 30 N answer
