The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the work done by the gravitational force and the work done by the resistive force of air on a raindrop falling from a height of 1 km with a mass of 1 g. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Convert the mass of the raindrop to kilograms.** - Given mass = 1 g = \(1 \times 10^{-3}\) kg **Step 2: Convert the height from kilometers to meters.** - Given height = 1 km = 1000 m **Step 3: Calculate the work done by the gravitational force.** - The formula for work done by gravity is: \[ W_g = mgh \] where: - \(m = 1 \times 10^{-3}\) kg (mass of the raindrop) - \(g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2\) (acceleration due to gravity) - \(h = 1000 \, \text{m}\) (height) - Substituting the values: \[ W_g = (1 \times 10^{-3}) \times (10) \times (1000) = 10 \, \text{J} \] **Step 4: Calculate the final kinetic energy of the raindrop.** - The speed when it hits the ground is given as \(v = 50 \, \text{m/s}\). - The kinetic energy (KE) is given by: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] - Substituting the values: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} \times (1 \times 10^{-3}) \times (50)^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times (1 \times 10^{-3}) \times 2500 = 1.25 \, \text{J} \] **Step 5: Apply the work-energy theorem to find the work done by the resistive force of air.** - According to the work-energy theorem: \[ W_{\text{total}} = KE_{\text{final}} - KE_{\text{initial}} = W_g + W_{\text{air}} \] - Since the raindrop starts from rest, \(KE_{\text{initial}} = 0\). - Therefore: \[ W_{\text{total}} = KE_{\text{final}} = W_g + W_{\text{air}} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ W_{\text{air}} = KE_{\text{final}} - W_g \] - Substituting the values we calculated: \[ W_{\text{air}} = 1.25 \, \text{J} - 10 \, \text{J} = -8.75 \, \text{J} \] ### Final Answers: - (i) Work done by gravitational force: **10 J** - (ii) Work done by resistive force of air: **-8.75 J**
