The firefighter feels the hose pushing backwards on his hands. What is the most likely cause of this?

• The escaping water exerts an equal and opposite force on the hose

• Since the hose is at rest, it tends to stay at rest

• The force on the water equals the mass of the water times its acceleration

• The hose is very elastic
