Why it is difficult for a firefighter to hold hose on which eject large amount of water at high velocity?
There may be recoil from the hose.
Why does water come out of an outdoor hose when the water is turned off?
To empty the hose entirely once the water is turned off, you'll need to use gravity. Working from one end to the other, lift sections of the hose to a vertical position and the water will drain out the other end.
Do machine guns have recoil?
Yes they do. They will have significant recoil. Shooters are taught to fire in bursts, and not like a garden hose, since recoil will push the gun off target if you fire continuously.
Can water be syphoned out of an above ground pool with hose in it connected to a silcock that is turned off?
no.
Why when a fireman is holding and emit large amount of water using the hose another fireman need to support him so he does not fall backward?
Every force has an equal and opposite reaction, and in order to fire large amounts of water out of a hose a large amount of force is needed. This large force's opposing force tries to push the hose backwards, which is why a hose flails around whenever you let go of it. The fireman is there in order to provide yet another force, to counteract the recoil from the hose, keeping it in place. However, if the recoil from the hose is too strong, it could potentially overpower the fireman, and break the grip his boots have on the ground, causing him to fall and be pushed backwards. Thus you have multiple firemen hold the hose, in order to lessen the force one firefighter has to endure, and to keep the hose in place if one falls.
How do you use the word hose in a sentence?
I turned on the garden hose and watered my flowers.
When can you use the garden hose?
When it's turned on.
How is force being used on a hosepipe?
The forces applied to a hosepipe when the water is turned on is high pressure from the water being stopped in the rubber hose by the nozzle. The force and pressure of the water is pushing out from the inside of the hosepipe.
How can you run water uphill with a garden hose?
You can run water uphill with a garden hose by decreasing the size of the hose as it moves away from the water source. By decreasing the hose size, pressure in the hose increases and the water will travel uphill.
How does a hose work?
Can you be specific? If you mean a garden hose, then basically water is let into the hose and pressure forces the water out.
Is a water hose with running water a siphon?
If the end of the hose is running in a pool of water, yes
