It is a common observation that rain clouds can be at about a kilometer altitude above the ground . (a) If a rain drop falls from such a height freely under gravity, what will be its speed ? Also calcualte in km//h (g = 10 m//s^(2)) . (b) A typical rain drop is about 4 mm diameter. Momentum is mass xx speed in magnitude. Estiamate its momentum when its hits ground. (c) Estimate the time required to flatten the drop. (d) Rate of change of momentum is force. Estiamate how much force such a drop would exert on you. (e) Estimate the order of magnitude force on umbrella. Typical lateral separation between two rain drop is 5 cm. (Assume that umbrealla is circular and has a diameter of 1 m and cloth is not peicreced through.)

It is a common observation that rain clouds can be at about 1 km altitude above the ground. If a rain drop falls from such a height freely under gravity, then what will be its speed in km h^(-1) ? (Take g = 10 m s^(-2) )

A ball is dropped from a tower of height h under gravity. If it takes 4s to reach the ground from height h/2 , then time taken by it to reach from h to h/2 is nearly:

Eight identical droplets, each falling under gravity in the earth's atmosphere with terminal velocity v , combine to form a single drop. The terminal velocity of single drop and drag force on it are calculated. Find the correct statement from the following.

Rain drops fall from a certain height with a terminal velocity v on the ground. The viscous force is F=5pi nerv Hence ne is coefficient of viscosity r the radius of rain drop and v is speed Then work done by all the forces acting on the ball till it reaches the ground is proportional to :
