The speed of falling cloud droplet increases until the air resistance ____.
A)is greater than gravity
B)is greater than the droplets inertia
C)is less than gravity
D)equals the pull of gravity
E)is less than the droplets momentum

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The speed of a falling cloud droplet increases until the air resistance equals the pull of gravity. At this point, the droplet reaches terminal velocity, where the downward force of gravity is balanced by the upward force of air resistance, resulting in no further acceleration.
