If we neglect air resistance, what would be the speed of the raindrop when it reaches the ground? assume that the falling raindrop maintains its shape so that no energy is lost to the deformation of the droplet. for comparsion a pistol bullet has a typical muzzle velocity of about 200 m/s.

i believe the answer would be:

d. violin, clarinet, french horn, and tuba

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
