Falling raindrops prompt rainfall rethink. Wednesday, 17 June 2009 Heather Catchpole ABC. The relationship between raindrop size and velocity isn't simple, say researchers (Source: Tim Wimborne ...

Once they begin to fall, they reach what is called terminal velocity on the way down. Take a guess at how far a raindrop falls in one second. The answer is below.

Dear Tom, I’ve heard that raindrops fall at 17 m.p.h. If raindrops obey the laws of physics, they should be traveling at several hundred miles per hour when they hit the ground.
