    Answer:The speed if hailstone dependly largely on its size. A hailstone with a diameter of 0.39 inches, falls wit a speed of 20mph while a hailstone with 3.1 inches in diameter falls at a speed of 110mph.

    No speed does not depend on the distance that the hailstone falls.

    Explanation: There are other factors that affect the speed of the falling hailstone apart from its size. They are:

    1. Friction between the air and the hailstone

    2. Wind condition (windy or moist air)

    3. The rate at which it melts falling.
