The accelerated motion of a liquid droplet is investigated analytically. The equation of motion is developed through an analysis of the internal and external fluid motions. Response to step changes in applied force and external fluid velocity are determined. Oscillating forces and velocities are treated and frequency response characteristics found. In the appropriate limits, the results reduce to the known behavior of bubbles or rigid particles.
