Terminal Velocity of Ice Pellet: Homework Solutions
Reply to thread
Message
[QUOTE="SteamKing, post: 4538491, member: 301881"] The mass of the pellet should be constant (assuming no melting as it falls). How could you not obtain for the mass knowing the density of ice and the size of the pellet? All else is irrelevant to this calculation. The drag force is proportional to the square of the velocity, so it's going to change over time until terminal velocity is reached. To analyze this situation properly, you need to draw a free body diagram of the falling pellet. Then, you've got to apply the equations of linear motion to the problem. [/QUOTE]
