What happens to a raindrop that falls on Earth?
It could form a lake, evaporate, or even freeze as it falls.
Why does an object accelerate when it falls to Earth's surface?
beause of gravity
How does a raindrop makes noise?
it falls
What is the of mph that a raindrop falls?
25mph
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.
Why does and object accelerate when it falls toward Earth's surface?
Gravity is unopposed while an object is falling.
How fast does a normal raindrop falls?
1 second wow
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.
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.

What happens when heavy rain falls on earth?
Heavy rain? As in pouring? It will come as droplets and hit a surface, then it will splatter and spread, usually to a .75 inch diameter for a large raindrop.
What is a peace of earth that is sourounded by water called?
raindrop
