A small drop of water falls from rest through a large height h in air, the final velocity is

A

`prop sqrt(h)`

B

`prop h`

C

`prop (1/h)`

D

independent of h

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
After travelling certain distance drop will attain maximum velocity called terminal velocity and this will remain constant for constant medium and independent of h.
