STANDARD Physics Terminal Velocity MCQ Question
A solid sphere falls with a terminal velocity v in air. If it is allowed to fall in vacuum,
terminal velocity of sphere = v
terminal velocity of sphere < v
terminal velocity of sphere > v
sphere never attains terminal velocity
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a vacuum, there is no air resistance, so the sphere will continue to accelerate under gravity and never reach a terminal velocity.
