Question

Why does a raindrop accelerate as it falls to the earth? A) because it gains mass during its travel B) because the force of gravity pulls on the drop C) because it gets further from the cloud where it started D) because fewer forces are present to slow it down as it drops

Answer 1

the correct answer is b

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

A raindrop accelerates as it falls to the earth.

In a freely falling condition, only the force of gravity will act on the drop. There is a force attraction between the earth and the drop. The acceleration due to gravity will act in this case.

A raindrop accelerates as it falls to the earth because the force of gravity pulls on the drop.

Therefore, the correct option id B.
