ok, here is the question i am stuck on. : why doesnt a falling raindrop get faster and faster as it falls?

at a point it reaches terminal velocity, where the air resistance on the raindrop is so high that its speed no longer increases because of gravity

It does, it falls at a rate of 32.2 feet per second every second. At 1 second it is falling at 32 f/s, at 2 seconds it is going 64.4 f/s, and so on. It will reach terminal velocity when the resistance to falling = acceleration of gravity.

The waves are electromagnetic, so they flow at a velocity of around three times 10^8 m/s. you decide on gadgets of consistent with 2d. 3(10^8) / 228.8 =~ a million.3 MHz FM or AM does not rely, for the reason so which you are able to use frequency modulation or amplitude modulation no rely the sign. it particularly is merely how effectual you decide on the sign to be. in the U. S., the frequency for FM is bigger than 80 MHz. it would be categorized as medium wave AM.

Once it reaches maximum velocity, the air resistance won't allow it to fall faster.
