While driving north at 25 m/s during a rainstorm you notice that the rain makes an angle of 38° with the vertical. While driving

back home moments later at the same speed but in the opposite direction, you see that the rain is falling straight down. From these observations, determine the speed and angle of the raindrops relative to the ground.

Answer:21.33^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given

velocity of driver v_1=25 m/s w.r.t ground towards north

driver observes that rain is making an angle of 38^{\circ} with vertical

While returning v_2=25 m/s w.r.t. ground towards south

suppose u_1=velocity of rain drop relative car while car is going towards north

u_2=velocity of rain drop relative car while car is going towards south

z=vector sum of u_1 & v_1

Now from graph

\tan 38=\frac{v_1+v_2}{u_2}

u_2=\frac{25+25}{\tan 38}=64 m/s

z=\vec{u_2}+\vec{v_2}

therefore magnitude of z is given by

|z|=\sqrt{u_2^2+v_2^2}

|z|=\sqrt{64^2+25^2}

|z|=68.70 m/s

\tan A=\frac{v_2}{u_2}

\tan A=\frac{25}{64}=0.3906

A=21.33^{\circ}

Thus rain drops make an angle of 21.33^{\circ} w.r.t to ground

What are the overall problems with hydrogen energy
OlgaM077 [116]

Expensive: Hydrogen gas actually takes a considerable measure of work to free if from different components. If it were basic and simple to separate, everybody would be utilizing it. It’s now being utilized to power some hybrid vehicles, yet right now it is not a reasonable type of fuel for everybody, mainly because it’s pricey and it’s difficult to get it from place to place. Until research and innovation goes far enough to make this a simpler and cheaper task, hydrogen will likely be something that only the rich can afford.Not Enough Hydrogen Fuel Stations: As you likely know, it’s very difficult to change “the way things are.” As difficult as hydrogen is to create and transport, it gets to be considerably pricier when you consider attempting to utilize it to supplant fuel. There is no current framework set up to hydrogen as the primary fuel for the normal driver. Service stations and vehicles themselves would all must be changed in order to use hydrogen, which can take a lot of time and money to do. It doesn’t seem cost efficient to change from the norm.Safety Concerns: Hydrogen in itself has a lot of power behind it. Though it is less dangerous than gasoline, it’s profoundly flammable and constantly in the news for the potential dangers connected with it. Unlike gas, hydrogen has no smell. Sensors must be used to detect a leak.

Analogue signals transmit information for such things as _____________.
ivann1987 [24]

Transmission of information in ANY form can be done digitally
or analoguely.

Beginning about 30 years ago, everything slowly started changing
to digital.  Today, all commercial satellite communication, all optical
fiber communication, all internet communication, all computer
communication, all commercial cable communication, all commercial
television, and much of the telephone system, are all digital. 

On your computer ... .pdf,  .jpg, .mp3  etc.  are all digital methods of
moving and storing information.

AM and FM radio are an interesting subject.  They're all still analog.
They could easily be changed to all digital, and it would be a big
improvement, both for the broadcasters and for the listeners. 
BUT ... every AM and FM radio that anybody has now would be
obsolete.   Every single radio would either need to be replaced,
OR you'd need to add a digital decoder to every radio, like we
had to do with our TV sets a few years ago when television
suddenly became all digital.  With AM and FM radios, the decoders
would be bigger, and would cost more, than most of the radios.

And that's why commercial radio broadcasting is still analog.
