The above is a depiction of rain drops falling on a car being driven at a speed of
3
m/s. If the angle of the rain drops on the car window is exactly
4
5
°, then what is the speed of the rain drops from a stopped observer's position? (Assume that the speed of the rain drops is constant and raindrops are falling straight down.)

wrong....tan 45 = (velocity of car / velocity of rain)...just coincident that the rain and car have the same velocity that is why your solution got the right answer... TOA is Tan(x) = Opposite / Adjacent = (Opposite of angle 45 is velocity of the car)/ (Adjacent of angle 45 is the velocity of the rain)
why we ta ke tan angle only ?
velocity of car .
wrong
t a n 4 5 = V c a r V r a i n 1 = 3 V r a i n V r a i n = 3 ㎧

Log in to reply
It is not coincident that the velocity of the car and the rain are same---the angle is 45 degrees so they are the same
tan(45)=v/3 so v = 3*tan(45)=3 m/s

tan45-= 1= 3/x therefore x= 3m/s
oh I missed that!
An observer in the reference frame of the window, which is moving at a constant speed of 3 m / s see the raindrops falling in a direction that is 45 ° to the vertical (or horizontal). So the sum vector car speeds, and rain should form a rectangle and an isosceles triangle, where the speed vectors are the legs. Therefore, for a reference outside the car the rain must fall vertically with a speed of module 3 m / s...
Um observador no referencial da janela, que está se movendo a uma velocidade constante de 3 m/s vê as gotas de chuva caindo em uma direção que faz 45° com a vertical (ou horizontal). Logo a soma das velocidades vetoriais do carro e da chuva devem formar um triângulo retângulo e isósceles, onde os vetores velocidades são os catetos. Logo, para um referencial fora do carro a chuva deve cair verticalmente com uma velocidade de módulo 3 m/s.
this question is wrong.because question says that rain fall on car is 45 angle but in bracket given that rain fall straight down. secondly question asked that what is speed of rain but in bracket given that assume speed of rain is constant.how this possible???????
tan 45 = |velocity of car|/|velocity of rain| ... so answer is 3m/s ( ' | | ' means the mod value of the velocity)
TAN45=V/3 (TAN45=1) 1=V/3 V=3
the answer is like this : tan(45) = 1 then. tan(45) *3=3m/s
tan45=vel of rain/vel of car
tan45=velocity of car/velocity of rain drop (velocity of car is 3m/s and rain is x )so tan 45=1,1=3/x ,=3m/s
Hi, I think its tan45=x/3.
v=u+at; v=0,u=30; then t=3.06 tatal time required T=6.12
??????? i think this was not the required solution!
It's ok if , tan 45 degree = Velocity of rain / Velocity of car = 1 ; The velocity of rain = The velocity of car = 3 m/s.
what about if , There is a Right triangle whose angles are : 90 degree , 45 degree & 45 degree . so Opposite side ( the velocity of rain) = Adjacent side ( the velocity of the car ) = 3 !
tan 45 = (velocity of car / velocity of rain)...just coincident that the rain and car have the same velocity that is why your solution got the right answer... TOA is Tan(x) = Opposite / Adjacent = (Opposite of angle 45 is velocity of the car)/ (Adjacent of angle 45 is the velocity of the rain)
Direction of rain with respect to car is given by : tan45= Vel. of Rain/ Vel. of Car 1=x/3 (say 'x' be velocity of rain) Therefore, x=3
tan 45 = Velocity of rain/Velocity of car
if v is vel of rain, then tan45 =v/3, or v = 3 * tan45 = 3 * 1 =3.
since its clearly mentioned to assume the rain drops fall straight down thus we take tan angle thus tan45=velocity of rain drops/3 = 3m/s
tan 45=velocityof drop downward/velocity of car....... tan45=x/3...... x=3
tan45=Vrain/Vcar => 1=Vrain/3 =>1*3=Vrain, or Vrain=3 m/s
tan(45)=v/3 so v = 3*tan(45)=3 m/s
tan45= V rain/ Vcar
By Right Angled Triangle, tan = OPP Side/ADJ Side i.e., tan 45 = rain drop speed/ car speed 1 = x/3 from these x=3
tan45= velocityof rain(Vr)/ velocity of car(Vc) 1=Vr/Vc 1=Vr/3 Vr=3
The above problem has solution = 3 m/s
3 m/s
tan 45 = (velocty of rain) / (velosty of car)
Right 45-45-90 vector triangles, anyone?
The window is oblique not the rain ever ..
Since rain falling straight will make a issocelous triangle having 45 degree angle. iIt has 90 degree anle on screen of car. speed of car is 3 miles/sec , so base of triangle is 3,and hight of rtriangle will be 3 ( isocellous trianle).therefore,Answer is 3
If speed of rain is r then tan 45=3/r => r = 3 m/s
Isn't it supposed to be 3 2 ?
it can be resolved by a triangle, so tan(45)=v/3 so v = 3*tan(45)=3 m/s
i think it should be 3(sqrt.2)
Why?
