Does it take longer for a raindrop to hit the ground if it is being blown horizontally by the wind than it would if it were falling perfectly vertical in a vacuum?

If both raindrops are dropped at the same time from the same height, then no, it does not take any longer, They will hit the ground at the same time because the vertical distance to the ground remains the same.One just travels further away

If you were a raindrop falling from the sky what would you do?
i would aim for some one
What did the witty raindrop exclaim to others?
"I'm just falling for you all!"
Can returning radar energy show the direction and speed of a falling raindrop?
yes
Is acceleration greater when the object is thrown vertically or horizontally?
Acceleration is dependent on the initial velocity of how fast the object is leaving the projectile. The vertical acceleration is greater when the object is falling than when the object reaches the peak in height. However, if the object is thrown horizontally and there is no parabola in its shape then there is not as great of an acceleration.
Can falling increase my vertical jump?
I don't see how falling would increase your vertical jump. You are risking an injury when you fall.
What is vertical acceleration?
It is what anything falling has.
Raindrop makes in still water are circles why do they make circles?
Waves transfer energy outward equally. Since there is no barrier to the water, when a raindrop hits the water that energy of the raindrop falling has to go somewhere, the energy is transferred from the raindrop to the water and goes outward from the epicenter (where the raindrop fell). The waves (circles) will continue to travel an equal distance unless there is an outside force such as wind, another object, ect. to stop the wave
Why doesn't a raindrop accelerate as it approaches the ground?
A falling snowflake or raindrop does not accelerate as it approaches the ground because their mass doesn't change. The form is not affected throughout the fall so it is already approaching the ground at terminal velocity. Hope this helps.
What type of force acts on a raindrop to reduce its speed?
Air resistance. The viscosity (resistance to flow) of the atmosphere slow down falling raindrops.
A 1990s group sang raindrops but its not the raindrop falling on my head?
Basement Jaxx (a group formed in 1994) released a song called Raindrops in 2009.
Can falling increase my vertical jump I jump to grab the net of the basket and pull myself up to grab the rim Then I fall to the ground without any injury?
Falling does not increase your vertical jump but does increase the risk of an injury that can create a barrier to your vertical jump.
Staying vertical does it mean?
Staying vertical means standing up and not falling down. It is a necessary part of the art of boxing.
