Question

is falling of raindrops from clouds is due to gravity. how?

Open in App

Solution

Is it is due to gravity. First due to clod at the vapour becomes water droplet and grows in size slowly. When they grow so much that can't be float in air it starts falling due to the gravity.

Q. Consider a raindrop falling through a cloud of tiny water droplets. Some of these tiny droplets get attached to this raindrop as it falls increasing its mass. Assume constant growth in the mass of the raindrop as a function of distance x of fall. Find out the acceleration of the raindrop assuming it to be constant.
