The raindrops are hitting the back of a man walking at a speed of `5km//hr`. If he now starts running in the same direction with a constant acceleration, the magnitude of the velocity of the rain with respect to him will

A

gradually increase

B

gradually decrease

C

first decrease then increase

D

first increase then decrease

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
c. The magnitude will decrease till the direction of the velocity
with respect to man becomes vertical. It will increases thereafter.
