Raindrops, speed of a raindrop, raindrop shape and size, raindrops' terminal velocity ... Falling raindrops hit 5 to 20 mph speeds ... Then the drop reaches its terminal velocity and falls at that speed until it hits the ground. This simple view neglects updrafts, downdrafts, and other complications.

The magnitude of the terminal velocity of an object is also affected by its orientation. A common misconception is the ... "Large raindrops, up to six millimeters in diameter, have terminal velocities of about 10 metres per second and so may cause considerable compaction and erosion of the soil by their force of impact."

Terminal velocity of raindrops is dependent upon the size of the drop, among other things. Obviously the larger the drop, the faster it will fall. ... Beard, K.V. (1976) Terminal velocity and shape of clouds and precipitation drops aloft. Journal of Atmospheric Science. 33, 851-864.

This final, constant velocity of motion is called a "terminal velocity", a terminology made popular by skydivers. For objects moving through a fluid at low speeds so that turbulence is not a major factor, the terminal velocity is determined by viscous drag.

Previous studies have shown that terminal velocity raindrops striking a smooth water surface create oscillating bubbles that radiate significant underwater sound energy. ... This work deals with the real life situation of large raindrops of a size often present in heavy rainfall (4.6 mm diameter) striking a sloped water surface.

At the same time it provides a great environment for further research in the interesting world of this regular (3) 2. Theoretical background a. Terminal velocity of raindrops The terminal velocity of the raindrop is reached when gravitation, drag and buoyant forces acting on the drop, are balanced.
