16) Raindrops fall to earth from a cloud 1700 m above the earth's surface. Each water drop is approximately .20 milligrams. Assume that the drop is not slowed by air resistance, how fast would the drops be moving when they strike the ground? What force (in Newtons) will the drop have when it impacts the ground? Would it be safe to walk outside during a rainstorm under these conditions?

8. (Physics) A ball of mass m is tossed upward from a building at height h with initial velocity v. The only force acting on the ball is the force of gravity, F = -mg, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Let x = r(t) denote the height above ground level at time t. By Newton's second law the initial value problem is mx" = -mg, x(0) = h, x'(0) = v.
