Question

After terminal velocity is reached, the acceleration of a body falling through a fluid is

• A. Equal to $g$
• B. Zero
• C. Less than $g$
• D. Greater than $g$
• E. Constant but not zero

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Zero

After terminal velocity is reached, the net acceleration of the body falling through a fluid is zero because the body after attaining terminal velocity will continue moving with same velocity through the viscous medium.
