m D is the correct answer A isnot the correct answer as Stokes’ Law does not apply to large spheres moving quickly through a fluid B is not the correct answer as Stokes’ Law does not apply to large spheres C is not the correct answer as Stokes’ Law does not apply to spheres moving quickly through a fhuid The only correct answer is D Ais not the correct answer as smaller particles of sand have a lower terminal velocity so take longer to reach the bottom of the beaker Bis not the correct answer as a lower temperature would increase the viscosity and increase the time taken for the particles to reach the bottom of the beaker (lower terminal velocity) C is not the correct answer as the sand particles take longer to reach the bottom of the beaker with a smaller terminal velocity Cis the correct answer Ais incorrect because the ball beating is not in the oil at V Bis incorrect because the ball bearing has not reached terminal velocity at W Dis incorrect because the ball bearing has not reached terminal velocity at W Ais the correct answer Bis incorrect because low viscosity is not a condition Cis incorrect because cylindrical object is not a condition Dis incorrect because neither cylindrical object nor low viscosity are conditions Bis the only correct answer A is incorrect because a greater viscosity would reduce terminal velocity giving a lower gradient Cis incorrect because because a greater viscosity would reduce terminal velocity giving a lower gradient Dis incomect because becauise a greater viscosity would reduce terminal velocity giving a lower gradient The correct answer is B Ais incorrect because the upthrust is constant Cis incorrect because the upthrust is constant and the viscous drag is increasing Dis incorreet because the viseous drag is increasing Cis the correct answer A is incorrect because Stokes! law does not apply to all spheres Bis incorrect because Stokes’ law does not apply to all spheres and applies at all viscosities Dis incorrect because Stokes' law applies at all viscosities The correct answer is D Ais not the comet answer because the drop speed would be too slow if the dow were laminar Bis not the correct answer because the ball bearing should not be moving at terminal velocity at all Cis not the correct answer because to calculate ¢ you must know the initial velocity and the student isn't measuring that
