$A$ small sphere of mass $m$ is dropped from a great height. After it has fallen $100 \; m$,it has attained its terminal velocity and continues to fall at that speed. The work done by air friction against the sphere during the first $100 \; m$ of fall is

$A$ ball rises to the surface at a constant velocity in a liquid whose density is $4$ times greater than that of the material of the ball. The ratio of the force of friction acting on the rising ball to its weight is

Suppose the average mass of raindrops is $3.0 \times 10^{-5} \ kg$ and their average terminal velocity is $9 \ m/s$. Calculate the energy transferred by rain to each square metre of the surface at a place which receives $100 \ cm$ of rain in a year.

$A$ small steel ball is dropped from a height of $1.5 \,m$ into a glycerine jar. The ball reaches the bottom of the jar $1.5 \,s$ after it was dropped. If the retardation in the glycerine is $2.66 \,m/s^2$, the height of the glycerine in the jar is about (acceleration due to gravity $g = 9.8 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,m$)
