The terminal velocity as it falls through still air is 4.65154 in/s.
The diameter of small water droplet is 1.25 mil= 1.25×0.0254×10^-3 m
= 3.175 × 10^-5 m
Now the viscosity of still air is η = 1.83× 10⁻⁵ Pa
So the formula for drag force is:
Fd = 6πηrv
where, v is the velocity.
Now to attain terminal velocity acceleration must be zero.
→ W = Fd
ρVg = 6πrηv
ρ × 4/3 πr³×g = 6πrηv
v = 2/9 × ρgr³/ η
v = 2/9 × 10³×9.81×(3.175×10^-3) / 18.6×10^-6
v = 0.1181 m/s
v = 4.65154 in/s

Answer:
- apples falling from trees
- people's feet touching the ground
- sky divers moving toward the ground
- balls bending downward after being thrown
Explanation:
When a space ship is accelerating in space, there is a force known as Inertia that kicks in. Inertia will mirror the effects of gravity on the ship even if there is no gravitational field effect such that anything that would happen where there is gravity, would continue to happen.
This means that apples will fall from trees, people's feet will touch the ground, sky divers will be pulled downwards and balls will bend downwards when thrown as well. These are the same effects expected on earth where gravity pulls things towards the earth's core.
