    A raindrop with radius 1.5 mm falls from a cloud at a height 1200 m from ground. The density of water is 1000 \[kg{{m}^{-3}}\] and density of air is 1.2\[kg{{m}^{-3}}\]. Assume the drop was spherical throughout the fall and there is no air drag. The impact speed of the drop will be

    A)  27 \[km{{s}^{-1}}\]  

    B)  550 \[km{{s}^{-1}}\]

    C)  zero           

    D)  129 \[km{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Acceleration of rain drop. \[a=\left[ \frac{\rho -\sigma }{\rho } \right]g\] where \[\rho =\] density of water, \[\sigma =\] density of air. \[\therefore \] \[a=\left[ \frac{1000-1.2}{1000} \right]\times 10\] \[=9.98\,\,m{{s}^{-2}}\] Here, \[u=0\], and \[s=1200\,\,m\] Now, \[{{v}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}+2as\] \[\therefore \] \[{{v}^{2}}={{(0)}^{2}}+2\times 9.98\times 1200\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[v=154.7\,m{{s}^{-1}}=550\,km{{s}^{-1}}\]
