The slopes of wind screen of two cars are α1=30∘\alpha_1 = 30^\circ and α2=15∘\alpha_2 = 15^\circ respectively. At what ratio v1/v2v_1/v_2 of the velocities of the cars will their drivers see the hail stones bounced back by the wind screen on their cars in vertical direction? Assume hail stones fall vertically downwards and collisions to be elastic.
