Question

What do I need to know to calculate the height that a fountain of water reaches?

Answer 1

A tape measure?

Answer 2

What info? isnt there a formula for height?

Answer 3

assuming no air resistance and that the water can be modelled as a particle we have a constant acceleration equation

Answer 4

would that be satisfactory?

Answer 5

There was a question not long ago (hour or so) about height of water in a fountain...

Answer 6

yeah..

Answer 7

\[h = ut - \frac{1}{2} g t^2\]

u is initial velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity

Answer 8

ok. thanks

Answer 9

\[t = \frac{2u}{g}\]

Answer 10

is time of flight
