A falling raindrop reaches terminal velocity when what happens?
ANet force becomes zero
BDrag becomes zero
CWeight becomes zero
DRadius becomes zero
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Net force becomes zero
Weight minus buoyancy equals viscous drag, so there is no net force and the speed stays constant.
