Obtain the velocity of the rain

Reference no: EM13284916

A car travels due east with a speed of 44.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth. The traces of the rain on the side windows of the car make an angle of 58.0° with the vertical. Find the velocity of the rain with respect to the following reference frames. (Enter the magnitude of the velocity.)

(a) the car m/s

(b) the Earth m/s
