A father decided to pick up his daughter at the train station. While waiting for his daughter who is inside the train, the rain started to fall. When a train’s velocity is 20.0 m/s eastward, raindrops that are falling vertically with respect to the earth maketraces that are inclined 40.0 to the vertical on the windows of the train. i. What is the horizontal component of a drop’s velocity with respect to the father? With respect to the daughter inside the train? ii. Determine the magnitude of the velocity of the raindrop with respect to the father? with respect to the daughter inside the train?

Question

A father decided to pick up his daughter at the train station. While waiting for his daughter who is inside the train, the rain started to fall. When a train’s velocity is 20.0 m/s eastward, raindrops that are falling vertically with respect to the earth maketraces that are inclined 40.0 to the vertical on the windows of the train.

i. What is the horizontal component of a drop’s velocity with respect to the father? With respect to the daughter inside the train?

ii. Determine the magnitude of the velocity of the raindrop with respect to the father? with respect to the daughter inside the train?
