A raindrop falling from a height h above ground , attains a near terminal velocity when it has fallen through a height `(3/4)` h . Which f the diagrams shown in figure correctly shows the change in kinetic and potential energy of the drop during its fall up to the ground ?

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

When drop falls its velocity increases and KE also increases . After sometime velocity becomes constant called terminal velocity ,hence KE also becomes constnt . PE decreases consistently as the drop is falling .
The fluctuation in PE and KE is represented by
