Determine the speed and the angle of the raindrops

Reference no: EM13701937

Question: While driving north at 21 m/s during a rainstorm you notice that the rain makes an angle of 38Â° 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.

Part A: From these observations, determine the speed and the angle of the raindrops relative to the ground.

Please explain your answer with steps.
