Motion in A Plane question

2022 · 27 Jun · Shift 1 · Q43

JEE MainPhysicsMotion in A PlaneMCQ+4 / −1
A girl standing on road holds her umbrella at 45 ∘^\circ∘ with the vertical to keep the rain away. If she starts running without umbrella with a speed of 15 2\sqrt22​ kmh −-− 1, the rain drops hit her head vertically. The speed of rain drops with respect to the moving girl is :

Correct answer: C

  1. Let the rain's velocity relative to the ground have components:

    • Horizontal component = vhv_hvh​
    • Vertical downward component = vvv_vvv​
  2. First situation: girl is standing still

    She holds the umbrella at 45∘45^\circ45∘ with the vertical, so the rain appears to come at 45∘45^\circ45∘ with the vertical.

    Hence, tan⁡45∘=vhvv=1\tan 45^\circ = \frac{v_h}{v_v} = 1tan45∘=vv​vh​​=1 so, vh=vvv_h = v_vvh​=vv​

  3. Second situation: girl runs without umbrella

    Her speed is 152 km h−115\sqrt{2}\ \text{km h}^{-1}152​ km h−1

    Now the rain hits her vertically, which means the horizontal component of rain relative to the girl becomes zero.

    Therefore, girl's horizontal speed must equal the horizontal speed of rain: vh=152v_h = 15\sqrt{2}vh​=152​

    From step 2, vv=152v_v = 15\sqrt{2}vv​=152​

  4. Velocity of rain relative to the moving girl

    Since the relative horizontal component is zero, only the vertical component remains.

    Thus relative speed of rain with respect to the girl is vrg=vv=152v_{rg} = v_v = 15\sqrt{2}vrg​=vv​=152​

    Rationalizing/comparing with options: 152=302 km h−115\sqrt{2} = \frac{30}{\sqrt{2}}\ \text{km h}^{-1}152​=2​30​ km h−1

  5. Match with options

    302 km h−1\frac{30}{\sqrt{2}}\ \text{km h}^{-1}2​30​ km h−1 corresponds to Option C.


Verification with stored answer: Stored correct answer is C, which matches the derived answer.
