The terminal velocity of a ball in air i...

The terminal velocity of a ball in air is v, where acceleration due to gravity is g. Now the same ball is taken in a gravity free space where all other conditions are same. The ball is now pushed at a speed vv, then –

A

The terminal velocity of the ball will be v/2

B

The ball will move with a constant velocity

C

The initial acceleration of the ball is 2g in opposite direction of the ball's velocity

D

The ball will finally stop (Given that density of the ball `rho`=2 times the density of air `sigma`)
