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?

Kinetic Energy || Gravitational Potential Energy

 

  • A

    constant and equal to $\frac{1}{2}\ mv^2$ || decreases at a rate of $mgv$

  • B

    constant and equal $\frac{1}{2}\ mv^2$ || decreases at a rate of $(mgv\ -½\ mv^2)$ 

  • C

    increases at a rate of $mgv$ || decreases at a rate of $mgv$

  • D

    increases at a rate of $mgv$ || decreases at a rate of ($\frac{1}{2}\ mv^2$ -mgv)
