Answer: B. meteorites, UV rays
The earth's atmosphere plays an important role in shielding the space rocks and meteorites enters inside the earth due to collision with the celestial body. Due to high heat and pressure in the mesospheric layer of the atmosphere these meteorites burned up before reaching the biosphere or hydrosphere system of the earth. The UV rays are protected from entering into the earth atmosphere by the ozone layer present in the stratosphere of the atmosphere. Both meteorites and UV rays can negatively effect the human population. Therefore, the atmosphere is an agent which provides protection against them.
Answer:
115, 80, 15m
Explanation
t1 = 14s
t2 = 18s
change in time = 4s (18-14)
r(final) = r(initial) + (average velocity) x (change in time)
multiply the average velocity with the change in time
= (4, 0, -3) x 4 = 16, 0, -12
now we'll add this value to the initial position of the car
(99, 80, 27)m + (16, 0, -12)m = (115, 80, 15)m
