Using the MATLAB program above of (free fall with drag force) to answer the following questions. Show all work when needed.

A. If a raindrop falls from a cloud 2000 m above the ground, what would be the velocity when it hits the ground with no drag force? with drag force? Estimate the force of a drop hitting your head if it comes to a stop in deltat=0.1s. (Recall that F = deltap/deltat.)

V (no drag) = ____________ V(w/drag) = ____________ Force = ________________

Would this be dangerous for you to be outside?

  1. If a 12 hailstone falls from a cloud 2000 m above the ground, what would be the velocity when it hits the ground with no drag force? with drag force? Estimate the force of a hail stone hitting your head if it comes to a stop in deltat=0.01s.

    V (no drag) = ____________ V(w/drag) = ____________ Force = ________________

  2. Estimate the speed of a penny dropped from the observation deck of the Empire State building when it hits the ground. Estimate the force when it hits the ground if it comes to a stop in deltat=0.01s.

Would this be dangerous for you to be outside?

V (no drag) = ____________ V(w/drag) = ____________ Force = ________________
