$A$ small sphere of mass $m$ is dropped from a great height. After it has fallen $100 \; m$,it has attained its terminal velocity and continues to fall at that speed. The work done by air friction against the sphere during the first $100 \; m$ of fall is

  • A
    Greater than the work done by air friction in the second $100 \; m$
  • B
    Less than the work done by air friction in the second $100 \; m$
  • C
    Equal to $100 \; mg$
  • D
    Greater than $100 \; mg$
