A car travels due east with a speed of 55.0 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 70.0° with the vertical. Find the velocity of the rain with respect to the following reference frames.

a) the car

b) the earth

smells like first year phys quiz 1, hmm?
..hate to say it but if you need help this early your probably fucked for the rest of the course

hot tips:

1. draw a vertical line (rain relative to earth)
2. draw a diagonal line 70° to the vertical (rain relative to moving car)
3. draw a horizontal line connecting them (moving car relative to earth, 55kmh-1)
4. boom boom soh cah toa time.

read the relative motion in ur textbook.

i think this forum beats on people more if they outright ASK a question.

if you show some sort of incentitive and show working out/ideas, we'd be more than happy to help.

im sure if he actually asked for help to do the question instead of putting it as a challenge he may have mad a less hostile reception. that said he would have been berated for not knowing how to do it lol
