APFIVE Drag Force and Terminal Velocity
Two identical spheres are released simultaneously in different fluids. Sphere A experiences a drag force proportional to its velocity ($$F_d \propto v$$), while sphere B experiences a drag force proportional to velocity squared ($$F_d \propto v^2$$). Which statement is correct?
A
Both spheres will reach the same terminal velocity
B
Neither sphere will reach terminal velocity
C
Sphere A will have a higher terminal velocity
D
Sphere B will reach terminal velocity more quickly
