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

$\alpha \sqrt{h}$

$\alpha c h$

$\alpha \propto \left( \frac{1}{h} \right)$

Almost independent of h

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

Since drop is falling from a large height it achieves its terminal velocity and then there is no

further increase in velocity so $V$ is independent of ' h ' if ' h ' is very large.
