    A solid sphere falls with a terminal velocity v in \[C{{O}_{2}}\]gas. If it is allowed to fall in vacuum,

    A)  terminal velocity of sphere = v

    B)  terminal velocity of sphere < v

    C)  terminal velocity of sphere > v

    D)  sphere never attains terminal velocity

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     The terminal velocity of the sphere \[v=\frac{2}{9}\frac{{{r}^{2}}(\rho -\sigma )g}{\eta }\]                    \[\therefore \]  \[v=0\]                 (\[\because \]in vacuum \[g=0\]) Hence, the sphere never attains terminal velocity in vacuum.
