A raindrop falls through a cloud and accumulates mass at a rate kmv where k =2 m1
is a constant, m is the mass of the raindrop, and v its velocity.
(a) What is the speed of the raindrop at t =10 s if it starts from rest?
(b) What is its mass at t =10 s? Assume that the initial mass of the raindrop is m0=
10 g.
Assume that a new raindrop falls through a cloud while accumulating mass at a rate r2
where r is its radius (assume that the raindrop remains spherical) and =3 kgm2s.
(c) Find its velocity at time t =10 s if it starts from rest with radius r0=2 cm.
