Rain drops fall from great height Which among the following statements is true regarding it?
Correct answer: A. they fall with that ultimate velocity, which are different for different droplets
- A. they fall with that ultimate velocity, which are different for different droplets
- B. they fall with same ultimate velocity
- C. their velocity increases and they fall with different velocity on the earth
- D. their velocity increases and they fall with same velocity on the earth
Explanation
Raindrops quickly reach terminal velocity when air resistance balances their weight. The terminal speed differs with droplet size, so different-sized drops do not all fall at the same speed.
