Detailed explanation-2: -Rain is falling vertically downwards with a velocity of 4 km/h. A man walks in the rain with a velocity of 3 km/h. The raindrops will fall on the man with a velocity of magnitude. No worries!

Detailed explanation-3: -To a man running at the rate of 4 km/h, the rain appears to fall vertically.
