A train travels due south at 25 m/s (relative to the ground) in a rain that is blown toward the south by the wind. The path of e
ach raindrop makes an angle of 66° with the vertical, as measured by an observer stationary on the ground. An observer on the train, however, sees the drops fall perfectly vertically. Determine the speed of the raindrops relative to the ground.
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Train travels towards south with a velocity if
Rain makes an angle of with vertical
If an observer sees the drop fall perfectly vertical i.e. horizontal component of rain velocity is equal to train velocity
suppose is the velocity of rain with respect to ground then
Therefore velocity of rain drops is 27.36 m/s

Explanation:
one of the conclusions from Einsteins relativity theory for his equation E= (where E is energy, m is mass and C is the speed of light),
is that time moves relative to the observer. Time moves more slowly when the observer is in motion (time dilation), therefore an individual in motion ages more slowly than someone at rest. This in fact happened when astronaut Scot Kelly spent nearly a year on board the international space station and on his return, his twin brother had aged slightly faster than him. In conclusion, if a space trip finds a son or daughter is biologically older than his or her parents, the space trip was taken by the parents.
