A car travels due east with a speed of 60.0 km/h relative to the ground. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically relative to Earth. The traces of the rain on the side windows of the car make an angle of 70.08 with the vertical. Calculate the velocity of the rain relative to (a) the car and (b) Earth. (can u pls solve this by using relative motion)
