A car is moving in a straight line with velocity v. Raindrops are falling vertically downward with a terminal velocity u. At what angle does the driver think the drops are hitting the windshield? Explain

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}\dfrac{v}{u}[/tex]

Explanation:

A car is moving in straight line with velocity v

raindrop is falling vertically downwards with velocity u

to find the angle at which rain drop is hitting the windshield

the driver will see the rainfall velocity relative to the moving car

∴ The apparent velocity will be

                = [tex]\vec{u}-\vec{v}[/tex]

Rain will be falling on wind shield  at  an angle θ .

where [tex]\theta = tan^{-1}\dfrac{v}{u}[/tex]
