A raindrop of radius \(2~\text{mm}\) falls from a height of \(500~\text{m}\) above the ground. It falls with decreasing acceleration (due to viscous resistance of the air) until, at half its original height, it attains its maximum (terminal) speed, and moves with uniform speed thereafter. What is the work done by the gravitational force on the drop in the first and second half of its journey?

1. \(0\) in each half 2. \(0.082~\text{J}\)  in each half
3. \(17.87~\text{J}\)  in each half 4. \(0.045~\text{J}\)  in each half
