What are the velocity, acceleration, and distance traveled of a 6-water droplet 100 after release in stationary air? ANSWER: 6.5 x (r* m/s [0.065 cm/s], 4.1 m/s^2 [410 cm/s^2], 3.7 x 10^-8 m [3.7 x 10^-6 cm].

Step 1
However, in this case, we are not given any specific information about these factors, so we will have to make some assumptions. Assuming that the droplet is spherical, has a radius of 1 mm, and is falling in a typical room-temperature environment, we can use the Show more…

A spherical raindrop 3.3 mm in diameter falls through a vertical distance of 4900 m. Take the cross-sectional area of a raindrop = ̀πr², drag coefficient = 0.45, density of water to be 1000 kg/m³, and density of air to be 1.2 kg/m³. (a) Calculate the speed (in m/s) a spherical raindrop would achieve falling from 4900 m in the absence of air drag. 310 m/s (b) What would its speed (in m/s) be at the end of 4900 m when there is air drag? What is the net force acting on the raindrop in the presence of air drag? What is the acceleration when the raindrop reaches terminal speed? m/s

Estimate the speed of vertically falling raindrops from the following data. Radius of the drops $=0-02 \mathrm{~cm}$, viscosity of air $=1 \cdot 8 \times 10^{-4}$ poise, $g=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}$ and density of water $=1000 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$
Calculate the velocity a spherical raindrop would achieve falling (taking downward as positive) from 5.8 km in the following situations. h = 5.8 km, l = 3.6 mm, d = 1.22 kg/m^3 1. Calculate the velocity in the absence of air drag in m/s. 2. Calculate the velocity with air drag in m/s. Take the size across of the drop to be 3.6 mm, the density of air to be 1.22 kg/m^3, the density of water to be 1000 kg/m^3, the surface area to be πr^2, and the drag coefficient to be 1.0.
