A man standing on a inclined plain observes rain is falling verticaly. When he starts moving down the inclined plain with velocity `v=6m//s` observes rain hitting him horizontally.
The actual velocity of rain is

A

`3m//s`

B

`3sqrt(3)m//s`

C

`4m//s`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`vecv_(r,m)=vecv_r-vecv_m=vecv_r+(-vecv_m)`

`cos60^@=(|vecv_(r,m)|)/(|vecv_m|)=(|vecv_r|)/6`
`1/2=(|vecv_(r,m)|)/6implies|vecv_(r,m)|=3m//s`
`sin60^@=(|vecv_r|)/(|vecv_m|)=(vecv_r|)/6`
`implies sqrt3/2=(|v_r|)/6implies|vecv_r|=3sqrt3m//s`

A man is standing on a road and observes that rain is failing at angle 45^(@) with the vertical. The man starts running on the road with constant acceleration 0.5m//s^(2) . After a certain time from the start of the motion, it appears to him that rain is still falling at angle 45^(@) with the vertical, with speed 2sqrt(2)m//s . Motion of the man is in the same vertical plane in which the rain is falling. Then which of the following staement(s) are true.
