Question
The terminal velocity of a raindrop that is 4.00 mm in diameter is approximately 8.50 m/s under controlled, windless conditions. The density of water is 1.00×103 kg/m3. Recall that the density of an object is its mass divided by its volume. If we model the air drag as being proportional to the square of the speed, Fdrag=cv2, what is the value of c? Note 1 millimeter (mm) = 0.001 m
