Question
A sphere of mass 0.5kg is dropped into a column of oil. At the instant the sphere becomes completely submerged in the oil, the sphere is moving downward at 8m/s , the buoyancy force on the sphere is 4.0N , and the fluid frictional force is 4.0N . Which of the following describes the motion of the sphere at this instant

Answer:
sphere moves with a constant terminal velocity.
Explanation:
mass of sphere, m = 0.5 kg
velocity downward, v = 8 m/s
buoyant force = 4 N
fluid friction force = 4 N
Weight of the sphere is acting downward.
W = mg = 0.5 x 10 = 5 N
When the object is immersed in a fluid and it moves in the fluid with constant velocity, it means the net force acting on the object is zero, and the object attains a terminal velocity.
