Question

A lead shot of 1 mm diameter falls through a long column of glycerine. The variation of the velocity with distance covered (s) is correctly represented by

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

For objects falling through viscous fluids, the velocity increases with distance in a non-linear manner.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Analyzing the velocity-distance relation.
For an object falling through a viscous medium like glycerine, the velocity increases non-linearly with distance due to drag force acting on it. The correct graphical representation is option (a).

Step 2: Conclusion.
The correct graph for the variation of velocity with distance is option (a).
