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

the correct answer is b

The correct answer is B.

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.

specific latent heat of fusion, lf, of a substance is defined as the amount of heat required to change a unit mass of the substance from solid to liquid state, without any change in the temperature.

explanation:

r=rho l/a where a is the area, l is the length and rho is resistivity so the greater the area the lesser the resistance thats why the earth pin is thicker bcos current follow the shortest path, so less resistive .
