$A$ solid sphere falls with a terminal velocity of $10 \, cm/s$ in the Earth's gravitational field. If it is allowed to fall freely in a region outside the gravitational field of the Earth,the terminal velocity will be:

  • A
    equal to $10 \, cm/s$
  • B
    more than $10 \, cm/s$
  • C
    less than $10 \, cm/s$
  • D
