At what speed does a falling hailstone travel? Does the speed depend on the distance that the hailstone falls?

Physics

Answer:The speed if hailstone dependly largely on its size. A hailstone with a diameter of 0.39 inches,falls wit a speed of 20mph while a hailstone with 3.1 inches in diameter falls at a speed of 110mph.

No speed does not depend on the distance that the hailstone falls.

Explanation: There are other factors that affect the speed of the falling hailstone apart from its size.They are:

1. Friction between the air and the hailstone

2. Wind condition( windy or moist air)

3. The rate at which it melts falling.

vazorg [7]

My response to question (a) and (b) is that all of the element of the rope need to  aid or support the weight of the rope and as such, the tension will tend to increase along with height.

Note that It increases linearly, if the rope is one that do not stretch. So, the wave speed v= √ T/μ   increases with height.

<h3>How does tension affect the speed of a wave in a rope?</h3>

The Increase of the tension placed on a string is one that tends to increases the speed of a wave, which in turn also increases the frequency of any given length.

Therefore,  My response to question (a) and (b) is that all of the element of the rope need to  aid or support the weight of the rope and as such, the tension will tend to increase along with height.  Note that It increases linearly, if the rope is one that do not stretch. So, the wave speed v= √ T/μ   increases with height.
