Answer 1

Answer:

The meteor accelerates

Explanation:

Let's see the options:

- the meteor travels downward relative to Earth,  that is, from the sky to the Earth.

- The meteor is affected by Earth’s gravitational force field, which attracts it to Earth.

- As a consequence of the previous item, it suffers acceleration (Earth gravitational acceleration), and then, its velocity is not constant.
