Question: Since raindrops grow as they fall, their surface area increases and therefore the resistance to their falling increases. A raindrop has an initial downward velocity

Since raindrops grow as they fall, their surface area increases and therefore the resistance to their falling increases. A raindrop has an initial downward velocity of 10m/s and its downward acceleration is

If the raindrop is initially 500m above the ground, how long does it take to fall?
