A solid sphere moves at a terminal velocity of 20m/s in air at a place where g = 9.8m/s2. The sphere is taken in a gravity free hall having air at the same pressure and pushed down at a speed of 20m/s.
- Its initial acceleration will be 9.8m/s2 downward.
- Its initial acceleration will be 9.8m/s2 upward.
- The magnitude of acceleration will decrease as the time passes.
- It will eventually stop.
