A man observes snow falling vertically when he is at rest, but when he runs through the falling snow at a speed of 4.70 m/s, it appears to be falling at an angle of 24.0° relative to the vertical. Find the speed of the snow relative to the earth.

1 answer

(4.70 m/s)/Vsnow = tan24

Solve for Vsnow (the vertical velocity component)
