$A$ body is dropped from a height $h$. If it acquires a momentum $p$ just before striking the ground,then the mass of the body is

It is a common observation that rain clouds can be at about a kilometer altitude above the ground.
$(a)$ If a rain drop falls from such a height freely under gravity,what will be its speed? Also calculate in $km/h$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$.
$(b)$ $A$ typical rain drop is about $4\, mm$ in diameter. Momentum is mass $\times$ speed in magnitude. Estimate its momentum when it hits the ground.
$(c)$ Estimate the time required to flatten the drop.
$(d)$ Rate of change of momentum is force. Estimate how much force such a drop would exert on you.
$(e)$ Estimate the order of magnitude force on an umbrella. Typical lateral separation between two rain drops is $5\, cm$.
(Assume that the umbrella is circular and has a diameter of $1\, m$ and the cloth is not pierced through.)

$A$ ball falls vertically downward and bounces off a horizontal floor. The speed of the ball just before reaching the floor $(u_1)$ is equal to the speed just after leaving contact with the floor $(u_2)$,where $u_1 = u_2$. The corresponding magnitudes of accelerations are denoted respectively by $a_1$ and $a_2$. The air resistance during motion is proportional to speed and is not negligible. If $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity,then:

$Assertion$: If a body is thrown upwards,the distance covered by it in the last second of upward motion is about $5 \ m$ irrespective of its initial speed.
$Reason$: The distance covered in the last second of upward motion is equal to that covered in the first second of downward motion when the particle is dropped.

The ratio of the displacements of a freely falling body during the first,second,and third seconds of its motion is
