A solid sphere falls with a terminal velocity of `20 ms^-1` in air. If it is allowed to fall in vacuum

A

Terminal velocity will be 20 m/s

B

Terminal velocity will be less than 20 m/s

C

Terminal velocity will be greater than 20 m/s

D

No terminal velocity will be attained

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
No terminal velocity will be attained as there is no air drag.
