NEET 2022 · PhysicsTerminal velocityPrevious Year Question
A spherical ball is dropped in a long column of a highly viscous liquid. Which curve in the graph shown represents the speed of the ball (v) as a function of time (t)?
Answer: (B) B. The ball accelerates from rest but the viscous drag grows with speed, so v rises and then saturates at the terminal velocity — a concave curve flattening to a horizontal asymptote (curve B).

PhysThe velocity of a small ball of mass M and density d, when dropped in a container filled with glycerine, becomes constant after some time. If the density of glycerine is d/2, then the viscous force acting on the ball will be:PhysTwo small spherical metal balls of equal mass are made from materials of densities ρ₁ and ρ₂ (ρ₁ = 8ρ₂) and have radii 1 mm and 2 mm respectively. They fall vertically from rest in a viscous medium of coefficient of viscosity η and density 0.1ρ₂. The ratio of their terminal velocities is:PhysA small sphere of radius 'r' falls from rest in a viscous liquid. As a result, heat is produced due to the viscous force. The rate of production of heat, when the sphere attains its terminal velocity, is proportional to:PhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:PhysA sphere of radius R is carved out of a uniform solid sphere of radius 2R (internally tangent, so its centre is at distance R from the big centre). The ratio of the moment of inertia of the small sphere to that of the remaining part, both about the Y-axis through the big sphere's centre, is:PhysThe Sun rotates once in 27 days. If it expanded to twice its present radius (uniform-density sphere, no external influence), its new period would be about:
