Acar travels due east with a speed of 38.0 km/h. raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the earth. the traces of the rain on the side windows of the car make an angle of 72.0° with the vertical. find the velocity of the rain with respect to the following reference frames. (enter the magnitude of the velocity.)

116.926 km/h

Explanation:

To solve this we need to analise the relation between the car and the Raindrops. The cars moves on the horizontal plane with a constant velocity.

Car's Velocity (Vc) = 38 km/h

The rain is falling perpedincular to the horizontal on the Y-axis. We dont know the velocity.

However, the rain's traces on the side windows makes an angle of 72.0° degrees. ∅ = 72°

There is a relation between this angle and the two velocities. If the car was on rest, we will see that the angle is equal to 90° because the rain is falling perpendicular. In the other end, a static object next to a moving car shows a horizontal trace, so we can use a trigonometric relation on this case.

The following equation can be use to relate the angle and the two vectors.

Tangent (∅) = Opposite (o) / adjacent (a)

Where the Opposite will be the Rain's Vector that define its velocity and the adjacent will be the Car's Velocity Vector.

Tan(72°) = Rain's Velocity / Car's Velocity

We can searching for the Rain's Velocity

Tan(72°) * Vc = Rain's Velocity

Rain's Velocity = 116.926 km/h
