Assertion : Terminal velocity is same ...

Assertion : Terminal velocity is same as the critical velocity.
Reason : The constant velocity of fall of a body through a viscous fluid is called terminal velocity.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Terminal velocity and critical velocity are not same. Critical velocity is the velocity below which the flow of liquid is streamline.
