A rocky meteoroid is on a collision course with planet Earth. The meteoroid is only 0.10 m in diameter. The meteoroid will most likely not reach the surface of the Earth because
A.
it will be struck by lightning.
B.
it will collide with a shooting star.
C.
it will be intercepted by a space vehicle.
D.
it will burn up in the Earth's atmosphere.

it will burn up in the Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation:

The structure of the Earth's atmosphere protects the surface from frequent meteoroid strikes. As a meteoroid enters the atmosphere from outer space, it moves at very high speeds. At such speeds, intense amounts of friction and heat result. This process usually causes small meteoroids to burn up in the Earth's atmosphere before ever reaching the surface.

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
