If a ball is accelerating down through the air with no horizontal motion, the correct statement is:
**The gravitational force is greater than the drag.**
This is because the ball is accelerating downwards, which indicates that the net force acting on it must be in the downward direction. The gravitational force (weight of the ball) must exceed the upward drag force exerted by the air, leading to net downward acceleration.
**The gravitational force is greater than the drag.**
