Which falls faster, big rain drops or small rain drops ?

Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Solution

Terminal velocity of rain drop,

$v_{t}=\frac{2}{9} r^{2} g\left(\frac{\rho-\sigma}{\eta}\right)$

$\therefore$ According to $v_{t} \propto r^{2}$, large drop have more terminal velocity so, it falls quickly.
