A car runs along a horizontal path at speed of 20m/s.The driver observes the rain hitting his car at 60 to vertical.If rain is a
1 answer:
Answer:
The speed of the raindrop is 11.55 m/s.
Explanation:
We need to find the speed of the rain in the "y" direction. We have:
: speed of the raindrop at 60° (vertical) =?
: speed of the car = 20 m/s (in the "x" direction)
Hence, the speed of the car and the speed of the raindrop are related by:
Therefore, the speed of the raindrop is 11.55 m/s.

Explanation:
a)
The period of a revolution in a simple harmonic motion is the time taken for the object in motion to complete one cycle (in this case, the time taken to complete one revolution).
The graph of the problem is missing, find it in attachment.
To find the period of revolution of the book, we have to find the time between two consecutive points of the graph that have exactly the same shape, which correspond to two points in which the book is located at the same position.
The first point we take is t = 0, when the position of the book is x = 0.
Then, the next point with same shape is at t = 120 s, where the book returns at x = 0 m.
Therefore, the period is
T = 120 s - 0 s = 120 s
b)
The tangential speed of the book is given by the ratio between the distance covered during one revolution, which is the perimeter of the wheel, and the time taken, which is the period.
The perimeter of the wheel is:
where R is the radius of the wheel.
The period of revolution is:
Therefore, the tangential speed of the book is:
