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

Physics
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago

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.

Answer:

Light refracts when its speed changes as it enters a new medium.

Explanation:

Bending of light wave while it entering a medium with different speed is called refraction of light. Light passing from a faster medium to the slower medium bends the light rays toward the normal to boundary between two media. The amount of the  bending of light depends on refractive index of the two media which is described by  the Snell's Law. The angle of incidence is not equal to  angle of refraction. Rainbow is caused but this refraction phenomena. Also Refraction is used in magnifying glasses, prism and lenses
