How fast does a raindrop travel?
Depending on the size of the raindrop and the wind speed, updrafts, downdrafts a raindrop can fall at the speed of light. The previous answer was obviously written by an idiot. A raindrop will fall at usually 3 to 8 metres/second. A raindrop will never ever be able to travel at the speed of light.
Why does the front wind screen of a moving car get wet when rain is falling vertically downward?
-- A raindrop takes some time to fall through a distance equal to the height of the windscreen. -- In that length of time, the car moves some distance forward. -- Any raindrop that is directly in front of the windscreen, but nearer to it than the distance the car will move before the raindrop falls past the bottom of the windscreen, will splat against the windscreen as its fall is interrupted.
How do you find the center of mass of the raindrop?
draw a symetrical raindrop. draw the lines of symmetry on it then where the lines cross is where the centre of mass it is
Why we don't get hurt by raindrops even they fall with great velocity?
Due to the equation F=ma were F is the force, m is the mass, a is the acceleration. Since the raindrop has such little mass (about 4mg. That's about 0.000004kg) and has the same acceleration all the time (9.8ms^-1). When these 2 are times together it give the force. So when a average raindrop falls on your head the amount of force it will apply to your head is 0.0000392N. Not a lot!

What is the terminal velocity of a raindrop?
30 furlongs
How does a raindrop makes noise?
it falls
What is the of mph that a raindrop falls?
25mph
What happens to a raindrop that falls on Earth?
It could form a lake, evaporate, or even freeze as it falls.
Why does a raindrop accelerate as it falls to the earth?
because the force of the earth pulls on the drop

What is the number of miles per hour that raindrop falls?
60 second it per hour
If a raindrop falls at 5.5 km in 30 minutes What is its speed?
18 km per hour
Does rain drop fall with constant velocity?
No it does not, as a raindrop falls to earth it will gradually slow due to the changing terminal velocity. As a raindrop falls, water will evaporate from it causing the mass to decrease faster than the size and surface area. this will leave the raindrop with a higher surface area to mass ratio. Since air resistance is related to surface area and mass, the smaller raindrop will have more air resistance for its mass and will fall slower.
Rate of speed at which a raindrop falls from the sky?
20 mh-1 to 39 mh-1 above sea level.
Why is a rain droplet shaped like a pear instead like a ball?
A raindrop would be sphere-shaped if it were floating in space or in the air, but because it does not float, but falls toward the Earth, the raindrop encounters resistance by the air. As the drop passes through the air, the relative motion of the air past the diameter of the spherical drop creates a slight vacuum at the top of the raindrop and that vacuum draws the top of the raindrop upward, creating the Why_are_raindrops_shaped_like_pear_instead_of_a_ballshape.

How can a raindrop eventually become a water that you drink at lunch eventually become part of a cloud?
the raindrop falls into a natural spring, then you drink natural spring water at lunch, and then you use the bathroom and it goes through sewage into a body of water which is then evaporated into a cloud.
