Rain is falling vertically. A man running on the road keeps his umbrella tilted but a man standing on the street keeps his umbrella vertical to protect himself from the rain. But both of them keep their umbrella vertical to avoid the vertical sun-rays. Explain.

Rain is falling vertically with a speed of 20ms^(-1) ., A person is running in the rain with a velocity of 5 ms^(-1) and a wind is also blowing with a speed of 15 ms^(-1) (both from the west) The angle with the vertical at which the person should hold his umbrella so that he may not get drenched is:

By the term velocity of rain, we mean velocity with which raindrops fall relative to the ground. In absence of wind, raindrops fall vertically and in presence of wind raindrops fall obliqucly. Moreover raindrops acquire a constant terminal velocity due air resistance very quickly as they fall toward the carth. A moving man relative to himself observes an altered velocity of raindrops. Which is known as velocity of rain relative to the man. It is given by the following equation. vec(v)_(rm)=vec(v)_(r)-vec(v)_(m) A standstill man relative to himself observes rain falling with velocity, which is equal to velocity of the raindrops relative to the ground. To protect himself a man should his umbrella against velocity of raindrops relative to himself as shown in the following figure. When you are standstill in rain, you have to hold umbrella vertically to protect yourself. (a) When you walk with velocity 90 cm/s, you have to hold your umbrella at 53^(@) above the horizontal. What is velocity of the raindrops relative to the ground and relative to you ? (b) If you walk with speed 160 cm/s, how should you hold your umbrella ?

A man when standstill observes the rain falling vertically and when he walks at 4 km//h he has to hold his umberella at an angle 53^(@) from the vertical. Find velocity of the raindrops.

To protect himself a man should his umbrella against velocity of raindrops relative to himself as shown in the following figure. Rain is falling vertically with velocity 80 cm/s. (a) How should you hold your umbrella ? (b) You start walking towards the east with velocity 60 cm/s. How should you hold umbrella ? (c) You are walking towards the west with velocity 60 cm/s. How should you hold your umbrella ? (d) You are walking towards the north with velocity 60 cm/s. How should you hold your umbrella? (e) You are walking towards the south with velocity 80 cm/s.

A man is walking on a road with a velocity 3kmhr. Suddenly rain starts falling. The velocity of rain is 10km/hr in vertically downward direction. the relative velocity of rain with respect to man is :-

A man walking briskly in rain with speed v must slant his umbrella forward making an angle theta with the vertical. A student derives the following relation between theta and v: tan theta = v and checks that the relation has a correct limit : as vtoo, thetato0 , as expected , (we are assuming there is no strong wind and that the rain falls vertically for a stationary man.) Do you think this relation can be correct ? If you, guess the correct relation.

Rain is fallinf vertically with a speed of 35 m s^(-1) . A women rides a bicycle with a speed of 12 ms ^(-1) in east to west dicrection . What is the direction in which she should hold her umbrella ?

An electron falls from rest through a vertical distance h in a uniform and vertically upward directed electric field E. The direction of electric field is now reversed, keeping its magnitude the same. A proton is allowed to fall from rest in it through the same vertical distance h. The time of fall of the electron, in comparison to the time of fall of the proton is
