Raindrops
The car runs on a horizontal track at a constant speed of 20 m2-1. It is raining. Raindrops fall in a vertical direction at a speed of 6 m/s.
a) How fast is the speed of the drops relative to the car windows?
b) What is the angle of the raindrops on the car window with the vertical direction?
