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.

A

it is not possible

B

Speed of the rain relative to the ground is `2m//s`

C

Speed of the man when he finds rain to be falling at angle `45^(@)` with the vertical, is `4m//s`.

D

The man has travelled a distance `16cm` on the road by the time he again finds rain to be falling at angle `45^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


`vecV_(rg)=vecV_(rm)+vecV_(mg)`
`vecV_(m)=vecV_(rg)-vecV_(mg)`
`V_(m)cos 45^(@)=V_(rg)cos 45^(@)`
`V_(m)=2sqrt(2)m//s=V_(rg)`
`V_(m)cos 45^(@)=V_(mg)-V_(rg)cos 45^(@)`
`V_(mg)=2sqrt(2)(1)/(sqrt(2))+2sqrt(2)(1)/(sqrt(2))=4m//s`
using `v^(2)=u^(2)+2` as for the motion of man.
`s=16m`.
