The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the motion of the raindrops and the man running. ### Step 1: Understand the initial conditions The raindrops are falling with a velocity of \(10\sqrt{2}\) m/s at an angle of \(45^\circ\) with the vertical. We need to resolve this velocity into horizontal and vertical components. **Hint:** Use trigonometric functions to resolve the velocity into components based on the given angle. ### Step 2: Resolve the velocity of raindrops The vertical component \(V_{ry}\) and horizontal component \(V_{rx}\) of the raindrops can be calculated as follows: - Vertical component: \[ V_{ry} = -10\sqrt{2} \cdot \cos(45^\circ) = -10\sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = -10 \text{ m/s} \] - Horizontal component: \[ V_{rx} = -10\sqrt{2} \cdot \sin(45^\circ) = -10\sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = -10 \text{ m/s} \] Thus, the velocity of the raindrops with respect to the ground is: \[ \vec{V}_{RG} = -10\hat{i} - 10\hat{j} \text{ m/s} \] **Hint:** Remember that the negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity components. ### Step 3: Determine the velocity of the man Let the velocity of the man running be \(V\hat{i}\). Since the raindrops appear to fall vertically to the man, the horizontal component of the rain's velocity must equal the man's velocity: \[ V + 10 = 0 \implies V = -10 \text{ m/s} \] **Hint:** The horizontal component of the rain's velocity must cancel out with the man's velocity for the rain to appear vertical. ### Step 4: Analyze the new condition Now, the problem states that the raindrops appear to fall vertically with a velocity that is \(\sqrt{3}\) times the previous vertical velocity. The previous vertical velocity was \(-10\hat{j}\). Therefore, the new vertical component of the rain's velocity \(V'_{ry}\) is: \[ V'_{ry} = -10\sqrt{3} \text{ m/s} \] The horizontal component remains unchanged: \[ V'_{rx} = -10 \text{ m/s} \] **Hint:** The vertical component changes, but the horizontal component remains the same. ### Step 5: Calculate the new velocity of the raindrops The new velocity of the raindrops with respect to the ground is: \[ \vec{V}'_{RG} = -10\hat{i} - 10\sqrt{3}\hat{j} \text{ m/s} \] ### Step 6: Find the magnitude of the new velocity To find the magnitude of the velocity of the raindrops with respect to the ground, we use the Pythagorean theorem: \[ |\vec{V}'_{RG}| = \sqrt{(-10)^2 + (-10\sqrt{3})^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{100 + 300} = \sqrt{400} = 20 \text{ m/s} \] **Hint:** Use the formula for the magnitude of a vector to combine the components. ### Final Answer The magnitude of the velocity of the raindrops with respect to the ground after the change is \(20\) m/s. ---
