Imagine a raindrop starting from rest in a cloud 2 km in the air. if it fell with

2) 433 mph

Explanation:

The final velocity of the raindrop as it reaches the ground can be found by using the equation for a uniformly accelerated motion:

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the raindrop starts from rest)

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

d = 2 km = 2000 m is the distance covered

Solving for v,

And keeping in mind that

1 mile = 1609 metres

1 hour = 3600 s

The speed converted into miles per hour is
