The correct answer would be C. it moves at a constant speed. The troposphere(the layer our weather is in) is not nearly high enough for gravity to be different at different altitudes.

Unreasonable results. A raindrop falls from a cloud 100 m above the ground. Neglect air resistance. What is the speed of the raindrop when it hits the ground? Is this a reasonable number? a) 140 m/s, No
