(N/A) When milk is shaken,the layers of the liquid move with different velocities. The viscous force (internal friction) acts between these layers,which opposes the relative motion between them. This force dissipates the kinetic energy of the liquid into heat energy. Consequently,the velocity of the layers gradually decreases until the milk comes to rest.

$Assertion :$ Falling raindrops acquire a terminal velocity.
$Reason :$ $A$ constant force in the direction of motion and a velocity dependent force opposite to the direction of motion,always result in the acquisition of terminal velocity.
