When a meteorite bums

Question -

When a meteorite bums in the atmosphere Then

Options:

A . the momentum conservation principal is applicable to the meteorite system

B . the energy of meteorite remains constant

C . the conservation principle of momentum is applicable to a system consists of meteorites , earth and air moleculles

D . the metedorite momentum remains constant

Answer: Option C

(C) Since, gravitational force is present , so conservation principle is only applicable to a system consists of air molecules + earth + meteorite .
