Question

In a hose pipe ejecting water, what is the reaction force?

Options

• Forward motion of the water

• Backward recoil force on the pipe

• Pressure inside the pipe

• Velocity of the water

Answer 1

Backward recoil force on the pipe

Explanation:

When the hose ejects water (action force), the water exerts a backward force (recoil force) on the pipe, which is the reaction force.
