Question

2. Rain is falling vertically with a speed of 20m/s. A woman rides a bicycle with a
speed of 20 in east to west direction. What is the direction in which she should
hold her umbrella? ( give answer with figure)

Answer 1

Answer:45 degree from the vertical

Explanation:

The wind blow from east to west and mark the direction of the velocity of the rain drop 20m/s in horizontal direction and the resultant motion of the rain drop comes 45 degrees with the vertical line . So the man should catch the umbrella in the direction opposite to the motion of rain drops so he also keep the umbrella in the angle of 45 degrees with the vertical.
