Blogpost #5

Today I had PSAT Team (what a fun way to spend my Sunday, right?). We had one ten minute break, and when I walked outside it was drizzling. However, you can't really see the raindrops depicted in the picture, sorry about that. Anyway, I figured if I knew the initial velocity of a raindrop, I would be able to calculate the distance between the cloud from which it fell and the ground. I could do this using the formula d=1/2at^2+V0t. I could plug in acceleration, which would be 9.8 meters per seconds squared (if I indicated that downwards is the positive direction, and the time it took for it to fall. Then I would be able to determine distance.
