Question

After terminal velocity is reached, the acceleration of a body falling through a fluid is (A) equal tog (B) zero (C) less than g (D) greater than g

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

After terminal velocity is reached, the net acceleration of the body falling through a fluid is zero because the body after attaining terminal velocity will continue moving with same velocity through the viscous medium.

Q. After terminal velocity is reached, the acceleration of a body falling through a fluid is

equal tog

zero

less than g

greater than g

constant but not zero

After terminal velocity is reached, the net acceleration of the body falling through a fluid is zero because the body after attaining terminal velocity will continue moving with same velocity through the viscous medium.
