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

Any mass is attracted to the Earth by the pull of gravity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravity accelerates all objects towards the ground at a specific rate. Without any other forces present, the speed of an object in free fall will increase the farther or longer it falls. Hope this helps!

Answer 2
