The terminal velocity of a ball in air is vv, where acceleration due to gravity is gg. Now the same ball is taken in a gravity free space where all other conditions are same. The ball is now pushed at a speed vvv v, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
The ball will finally stop (Given that density of the ball ρ=2\rho=2 times the density of air σ\sigma )
Option D is correct. In a gravity-free space, the only force acting on the ball is the viscous force due to air. Since the density of the ball is greater than the density of air, the ball will eventually stop due to this viscous drag.
