To solve the problem of determining the angle at which raindrops fall on the windscreen of a car, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the velocities involved**: - The velocity of the raindrops falling vertically downwards is \( V_r = 20 \, \text{m/s} \). - The velocity of the car (and hence the windscreen) moving horizontally is \( V_c = 15 \, \text{m/s} \). - The windscreen is inclined at an angle of \( 23^\circ \) to the vertical. ...
