medium
Which of the following option correctly describes the variation of the speed $v$ and acceleration $'a'$ of a point mass falling vertically in a viscous medium that applies a force $F = -kv,$ where $'k'$ is a constant, on the body? (Graphs are schematic and not drawn to scale)
A

B

C

D

(JEE MAIN-2016)
Solution
When a point mass is falling vertically in a viscous medium, the medium or viscous fluid exerts drag force on the body to oppose its motion and at one stage body falling with constant terminal velocity
