Why do raindrops fall with a constant speed during the later stages of their descents?

Physics
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago
6 0
Firstly they have a acceleration downwards due the force downwards due they gravitational field acting on it's mass.
as it falls it gains speed, and as it gains speed the air Resistance which is a upward force actin on the drop increases, eventually the rain drop's upward and downward forces are balanced and hence there is no RESULTANT force therefore no acceleration, so the drops falls in constant speed (terminal verlocity is a better term)

Are you wondering that why is the raindrop still moving given that the forces are balanced? If so according to Newton's 1st law an object will keep moving or Remain at rest until a RESULTANT force acts on it.

What problems do pathogens cause in our society?
kotegsom [21]

Pathogens are microorganisms that cause infectious diseases. Bacteria and viruses are the main pathogens in the world today.

The major problem that pathogen cause in society is that they are the agents of infection and disease. 

An infection results when a pathogen invades the body and begins growing within a host.  A disease results when tissue function is impaired due to an infection.

Due to diseases, affected people can not work  which negatively affects the economy, and the sick may end up dying causing a lot of grief, and robbing society of a father, a mother or child.

The government has to put money aside for health care which would otherwise have been used for other things to help the society.

A skateboarder with a mass of 60 kg moves with a force of 20 N. What is her acceleration?
Zanzabum

Explanation:

Solution,

  • Mass(m)= 60 kg
  • Force (F)= 20 N
  • Acceleration (a)= ?

We know that,

  • F=ma
  • a=F/m
  • a=20/60
  • a=0.333 m/s²

So, her acceleration is 0.333 m/s².

How much work does it take to move a 50 μC charge<br> against a 12 V potential difference?
lukranit [14]
<span>work =V*Q =12*50*10^-6

The total work done will be equal to 

work = V.Q

which means 

w= 12 . 50.10^-6
Hence,
w= 0.0006 J</span>
