A hydraulic catapult (liquid jet) is used to propel a cart, as shown in the figure. Initially the cart is at rest. The jet strikes the curved surface of the cart and makes a 180 -degree angle tum, leaving horizontally. The mass of the cart is 100kg and the jet of water leaves the nozzle, of area 0.001m2, with a speed of 35m/s. There is an aerodynamic force (drag) proportional to square of the cart speed, FD?=kU2, with k=2.0N?s2/m2. You are asked to do the following: 1. Derive an expressin for the cart acceleration as a function of cart speed and other given parameters. 2. Evaluate the acceleration of the cart at U=10m/s. 3. What fraction is this speed of the TERMINAL speed of the cart?
