Problem 2.234
An interesting application of the relative motion equations is the
experimental determination of the speed at which rain falls. Say
you perform an experiment in your car in which you park your
car in the rain and measure the angle the falling rain makes on
your side window. Let this angle be
✓rest D20ı
. Next you drive
forward at
25 mph
and measure the new angle
✓motion D70ı
that
the rain makes with the vertical. Determine the speed of the falling
rain.

Consider the following variation of the problem in Example 2.24 in which a
movie hero needs to destroy a mobile robot
B
, except this time they are not
going to collide at
C
. Assume that the hero is traveling on the train car
A

B
travels at a constant speed

Consider the following variation of the problem in Example 2.24 in which a
movie hero needs to destroy a mobile robot
B
. As was done in that problem,
assume that the movie hero is traveling on the train car
A
with constant speed
vAD18 m=s

4
s before an otherwise inevitable collision at
C
, the hero
fires a projectile
P
traveling at
300 m=s

travels with a constant acceleration
aBD10 m=s2

tD0
is the time of firing. Determine the

Problem 2.240
A park ranger
R
is aiming a rifle armed with a tranquilizer dart
at a bear (the figure is not to scale). The bear is moving in the
direction shown at a constant speed
vBD25 mph
