A raindrop with initial mass 'M', from rest begins to fall due
to gravity. The drop gains mass due to the cloud, which is
proportional to its mass and velocity:
where 'k' is a constant.
a) Show that the rain drops acceleration follows the case when
the air resistance is given by:
.
b) Even though we are not assuming air resistance, what is the terminal velocity?

A spherical raindrop (r = 0.0015 m) falls from a cloud. The drag coefficient is 0.60. The density of the water is 1000 kg/m^3 and the density of the air it falls through is 1.2 kg/m^3. The shape of the drop doesn’t change during the fall, and the terminal velocity is 7.3 m/s. At this terminal speed, what is the magnitude of the resistive force acting on the drop?

Loki is falling from rest due to gravity. A) How far in meters can he fall in 10 seconds? B) How far in km did he fall, had he been falling for 30 minutes? Interesting fact: diameter of Earth is ~13000 km. Assume: no air resistance; acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2. (round all answers to 2 sig fig) A) is 490 B)?

2.) As a raindrop falls through a cloud, it collides with smaller droplets of mist and grows in mass (a) Derive a differential equation that relates the mass and velocity of the drop as it falls and accretes mass. Hint: Do NOT just differentiate d(mv)/dt, but start with the impulse-momentum theorem in differential form, like we did in the derivation of the rocket equation. Your "system" should include the raindrop itself and a small mass Δm of droplets with which...

Red and blue balls fall from rest at the same instant and
encounter no appreciable air resistance, but the red ball started
from a height above the ground that was three times as high as that
for the blue ball. If the red ball takes time T to reach the
ground, the time that the blue ball takes is:
A.
