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

It is a common observation that rain clouds can be at about a kilometer altitude above the ground. A typical rain drop is about 4 mm diameter. Momentum is mass xx speed in magnitude. Estimate its momentum when it hits the ground.

A rain drop of radius 2 mm falls from a height of 500 nr above the ground. It falls with decreasing acceleration (due to viscous resistance of the air) until at half its original height, it attains its maximum (terminal) speed, and moves with uniform speed thereafter.

What is the work done by the resistive force in the entire journey if its speed on reaching the ground is 10 m s^-1 ?
