A car travels with a speed of 40 km h - 1 . Rain drops are falling at a constant speed vertically. The traces of the rain on the side windows of the car make an angle of 30 ° with the vertical. The magnitude of the velocity of the rain with respect to the car is
Options
- A40 3   km   h - 1
- B40 3   km   h - 1
- C80   km   h - 1
- D80 3   km   h - 1
Correct answer
C. 80   km   h - 1
Step-by-step solution
Here the car moves with speed v C E = 40   km   h - 1 and raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth as shown in the figure below. Now, velocity of car relative to the rain is calculated using the relation, v R C = v C E sin θ = 40 sin 30 ° = 40 0 . 5 = 80   km   h - 1 .
