6 A firefighter is standing on top of a building 19 m high holding a firehose 1 m above the top of the building She finds that if she holds the hose horizontally the water flows from it at 15m s As this happens the water hits an adjacent burning building at a height of 14 m above the ground The gravitational acceleration constant is 9 8 m s What is the horizontal distance from the firefighter to the building The additional parts on the next page guides you through one possible way of solving this problem Firefighter problem a Do we need to use a vector valued function that is 2 D or 3 D b What is the acceleration function for the stream of water t e Find the initial velocity the velocity function the initial position and the position function for the stream of water t d How long does it take the water to travel from one building to the other
