Question

A car is moving on the road when the rain is falling vertically downwards. Why does the front windscreen get wet?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Even when rain is falling vertically downwards, the front screen of a moving car gets wet while the back screen remains dry. Why? Answer: This is because the rain strikes the car in the direction of relative velocity of rain with respect to car.

Answer 2

The relative velocity of rain with respect to car is inclined to the vertical in the backward direction. Therefore, it will strike the front screen.
