Chapter 4: Q.62 (page 108)

While driving north at 25m/s during a rainstorm you notice that the rain makes an angle of 38掳 with the vertical. While driving back home moments later at the same speed but in the opposite direction, you see that the rain is falling straight down. From these observations, determine the speed and angle of the raindrops relative to the ground.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed and angle of the raindrops relative to the ground is 68.7m/sand21.3掳 respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

While driving north at 25m/s during a rainstorm you notice that the rain makes an angle of 38掳 with the vertical.

02

Calculation

The velocity of rain with respect to the car with vertical direction make angle of 38掳.

role="math" localid="1647939501776" tan38掳=v1+v2u2u2=25+25tan38掳u2=64m/s

The speed and angle of the raindrops relative to the ground is:

role="math" localid="1647939626538" v=u22+v22v=642+252v=68.7m/s胃=tan-1(v2u2)胃=tan-1(2564)胃=21.3掳

A 35 g steel ball is held by a ceiling-mounted electromagnet 3.5 m above the floor. A compressed-air cannon sits on the floor, 4.0 m to one side of the point directly under the ball. When a button is pressed, the ball drops and, simultaneously, the cannon fires a 25 g plastic ball. The two balls collide 1.0 m above the floor. What was the launch speed of the plastic ball?
