Question

Hen raindrops form, the force of gravity pulls them toward the ground. Which statement is correct about this chain of events?

a) There is no correlation between gravity and raindrops falling.
b) The force of gravity causes the raindrops to accelerate.
c) The raindrops' acceleration causes the force of gravity.
d) There is a negative correlation between gravity and raindrops falling.

Answer 1

The force of gravity causes the raindrops to accelerate when they form.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement about the chain of events when raindrops form is b) The force of gravity causes the raindrops to accelerate.

When raindrops form, the force of gravity pulls them towards the ground. This force causes the raindrops to accelerate. The acceleration due to gravity is constant at any given location on Earth and has its own symbol, g. It is the same for all objects, regardless of their mass.
