$A$ small steel sphere of mass $m$ is falling vertically through a viscous liquid with a constant speed $v$. Which row in the table correctly describes the changes with time in the kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of the sphere?

$A$ tiny spherical oil drop carrying a net charge $q$ is balanced in still air, with a vertical uniform electric field of strength $\frac{81}{7} \pi \times 10^5 \,V / m$. When the field is switched $OFF$, the drop is observed to fall with terminal velocity $2 \times 10^{-3} \,m / s$. Here $g=9.8 \,m / s^2$, viscosity of air is $\eta = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} \,N s / m^2$ and density of oil is $\rho = 900 \,kg / m^3$. The magnitude of $q$ is

If the terminal speed of a sphere of gold (density $= 19.5 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$) is $0.2 \ m/s$ in a viscous liquid (density $= 1.5 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$), find the terminal speed (in $m/s$) of a sphere of silver (density $= 10.5 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$) of the same size in the same liquid.

On which factors does terminal velocity depend? Explain.
