A raindrop of mass $3.36 \times 10^{-5}$ kg falls vertically at constant speed under the influence of gravity and air resistance. Model the drop as a particle. (a) As it falls 55 m, what is the work done on the raindrop by the gravitational force? The answer to this part would not change if the air resistance force was not present. J (b) What is the work done on the raindrop by air resistance? Enter a number. t that the work done by air resistance will be the negative of the work done by the force of gravity. J

Step 1

The work done by a force is given by the formula: Work = Force x Distance x cos(theta) In this case, the force is the gravitational force acting on the raindrop, which is equal to the weight of the raindrop. The weight of an object is given by the Show more…
