Question

A small drop of water falls from rest through a large height h in air; the final velocity is (A) Proportional to √h (B) Proportional to h (C) Inversely proportional to h (D) Almost independent of h

Since drop is falling from a large height it achieves its terminal velocity and then there is no further increase in velocity so v is independent of ' h ' if ' h ' is very large.
