Give the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on a drop of rain falling down with a constant speed.

उत्तर
Since the raindrop falls downward at a constant velocity, its acceleration is zero. Therefore, according to Newton's first law of motion, the net force acting on the raindrop is zero, i.e., a = 0 Consequently, from the equation F = ma, we have F = 0.
