What is the direction and magnitude of the net force acting on a rain drop falling down with constant speed?

If the raindrop is falling at a constant speed, then it has reached terminal velocity. This happens when the downward force (due to gravity) is the same as the upward force due to friction. As such the net force acting on the rain drop is 0.


Why a larger rain drop falls faster than a small rain drop?

Considering the rain droplets as spherical body. We have two forces acting on the rain drop when it is falling through the sky, namely the resistance force due to friction(drag force)upwards and its weight downwards. Th rain drop falling from such distance attain a terminal velocity while falling i.e their speed becomes constant after sometime. This happens when the drag force equals the weight of drop,, this happens because drag force increases with velocity of the drop. Drag force= .5*rho*v2*A(frontal area)*Cd(coefficient of drag) Weight=m*g=rho*volume of spherical drop=rho*4/3*r3. When we equalize it, we get the Terminal Velocity(v) varying directly as sqr of r(radius of drop) So larger drop means, larger terminal velocity and hence less time taken for falling. So larger rain drop falls faster.


What size tablecloth for a 72-inch round table?

If the table height is standard 29 inches, if you want the drop up to the ground, you require 132 inch round tablecloth and if you want the drop half the way (i.e 15 inches) then 102 inch round tablecloth is perfect fit.


What size tablecloth do you need for a 6ft rect. table to the floor?

If the table height is 29 inches standard then 90 x 132 inches is perfect fit which gives the drop up to the floor.


When you release a gas in a vacuum chamber does it immediately drop to the floor?

When you release a gas in a vacuum chamber, it immediately drops to the floor because of its density. _______________________________________________________ I expect that the gas will expand to fill the whole volume of the vacuum chamber.

To be completely honest it depends on if your floor is dirty or not. If your floor is really dirty then the sponge is dirty. but in order for your floor to be clean when u 'drop' a sponge you have to apply elbow grease to clean it.
