Question: 2 . ( a ) A jet hits a stationary car body at a speed ( mathrm { V } _ {

2.(a) A jet hits a stationary car body at a speed \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{J}}\)(Figure b), causing the car body to accelerate. After time t , the car speed becomes \(\mathrm{V}(\mathrm{t})\). Given the mass of the car body \(\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{e}}\) the crosssectional area of the jet \( A \), and the water density \(\rho \), use the Reynolds Transport Theorem (RTT) form of the momentum equation to express the force F(t) exerted by the jet on the car body. (A control volume diagram showing velocity and forces must be drawn.)
(b) Taking the water body in contact with the car body as the moving control volume, and assuming the mass of the control volume is \(\mathrm{m}_{\boldsymbol{\omega}}\) use the RTT form of the momentum equation to express the force \( F(t)\) on the water body. (A control volume diagram showing flow velocity and forces must be drawn.)
(c) Using the answers from (a) and (b), determine the speed \(\mathrm{V}(\mathrm{t})\) of the car body and the car's acceleration \(\mathrm{a}(\mathrm{t})\).
(d) Determine the car body's initial acceleration a and terminal velocity \(\mathrm{V}_{\boldsymbol{\sim}}\)
(e) When the car's speed reaches \( V_{\mathbf{c}}\) what is the instantaneous force \(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{e}}\) exerted on the car body? If you want to maintain a constant speed \( V_{c}\) what force \( F_{s}\) is required to be applied to the car body?
(f) In reference to (e), assuming \(\mathrm{m}_{\mathbf{w}}\)\(\mathrm{m}_{\mathbf{c}\text { simplify }}\) the force \(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{e}}\) Compare the "non-steady-state solution Fe" with the "steady-state solution \(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{s}}\). What is the difference between the two, and what causes this difference?
