A car travels due east with a speed of 46.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth. The tracks of the rain on the side windows of the car make an angle of 72.0\textdegree with the vertical. Find the velocity of the rain with respect to (a) the car and (b) the earth. (Enter the magnitude of the velocity.) (a) the car km/h (b) the Earth km/h

A car travels due east with a speed of 36.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth. The traces of the rain on the side windows of the car make an angle of 42.0° with the vertical. Find the velocity of the rain with respect to the car and the earth. (Enter the magnitude of the velocity.) (a) the car km/h (b) the Earth

A car travels due east with a speed of 34.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth. The traces of the rain on the side windows of the car make an angle of 50.0° with the vertical. Find the velocity of the rain with respect to the car and the earth. (Enter the magnitude of the velocity.) (a) the car _________ km/h (b) the Earth ___________ km/h
