Arain drop of radius 2 mm falls from a height of 500 m above theground. It falls with decreasing acceleration (due to viscousresistance of the air) until at half its original height, it attainsits maximum (terminal) speed, and moves with uniform speedthereafter. What is the work done by the gravitational force on thedrop in the first and second half of its journey? What is the workdone by the resistive force in the entire journey if its speed onreaching the ground is 10 m s–1?
