If a small raindrop fulls through air. its velocity

A

goes on increasing

B

goes on decreasing

C

remains constant initially for some time and then it starts decreasing

D

goes on increasing for some time and then becomes constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(d)-First the velocity increases and when the resultant force of the viscous force, gavitational force and buoyant force becomes zero, it starts moving down with the constant terminal velocity
