Two steel balls have the same size and shape, but one is hollo
Question

Two steel balls have the same size and shape, but one is hollow. They are dropped in air and their terminal speeds are measured. Which of the following statement is correct?

A
The hollow ball has a smaller terminal speed because it requires a smaller air resistance to cancel the gravitational force on it.

B
The hollow ball has a large terminal speed because it requires a smaller air resistance to cancel the gravitational force on it.

C
The terminal speeds are the same because the acceleration of gravity doesn't depend on mass.

D
The terminal speeds are the same and equal to .
