Chapter 11.4, Problem 11.129P
During a rainstorm, the paths of the raindrops appear to form an angle of 30° with the vertical and to be directed to the left when observed from a side window of a train moving at a speed of 15 km/h. A short time later, after the speed of the train has increased to 24 km/h, the angle between the vertical and the paths of the drops appears to be 45°. If the train were stopped, at what angle and with what velocity would the drops be observed to fall?

A driver is traveling at a speed of 74 km/h in car A when he looks down to text a
friend that he is running late. Just before he looks down, he 80 m from an
intersection, and a bicyclist B, traveling at a constant speed of 11m/s, is d= 44 m from
that same intersection. The light turns red during the 3 s text, and when the driver
looks up, he hits the brakes, causing a constant deceleration of 5 m/s2.
