Consider a drop of rainwater having mass 1 g falling from a height of 1 km. It hits the ground with a speed of 50 m/s. Take constant with a value 10 m/s The work done by the (i) gravitational force and the (ii) resistive force of air is

J J
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the work done by the gravitational force and the resistive force of air.Given:• Mass of the raindrop g kg• Height km m• Final speed m/s• Acceleration due to gravity m/s1. Work done by gravitational force:The work done by gravity is given by J2. Work done by resistive force of air:The work-energy principle states that the total work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.The initial kinetic energy (since it starts from rest).The final kinetic energy JAccording to the work-energy principle: JThe total work done is the sum of the work done by gravity and the resistive force:Solving for JTherefore, the work done by the gravitational force is Jand the work done by the resistive force of air is JThis corresponds to Option 3.
