Take the 2-minute tour ×  This question already has an answer
here:  Assume there is a rainstorm, and the rain falling over
the entire subject area is perfectly, uniformly distributed. Now
assume there are two identical cars in this area. One is
standing still, and one is traveling (at any rate, it doesn't
matter).  In theory, does one get struck by more water than the
other? I understand that the velocity at which the raindrops
strike the moving car will be higher. But because the surface
area of the vehicles is identical and the rain is uniformly
distributed, shouldn't each get hit by the same amount of water
at any given moment or over any span of time?  My intuition is
pulling me in all sorts of different directions on this
question.  share|improve this question This was covered in
reasonable enough detail in this video

your question. –  Brandon Enright Apr 20 '13 at 0:09 What shape
is the car? I think this is a crucial piece of data nobody ment
