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 10 m/s, and its downward acceleration is
a =
90.9t if0 t 100 if t >10.
Find the velocity v (in m/s) of the raindrop for time
0 t 10.
v(t)=
9t0.45t2+10
m/s
If the raindrop is initially 700 m above the ground, find the height s of the raindrop (in meters) after it falls for 10 seconds.
s(10)= m
How long (in seconds) does it take to fall? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
s
