Answer: Meteor showers occur when the earth in its orbit around the Sun passes through debris left over from the destruction of comets.
Explanation:A meteor is a particle broken off an asteroid or comet orbiting the Sun, it burns up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere, creating the effect called shooting star. Cosmic debris of meteor is known as meteoroids. These meteoroids, entering Earth's atmosphere, at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories is an event known as meteor shower.
According to Newton's second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum
Therefore; F = ma , where F is the resultant force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration of the body.
<u>Resultant force depends on the acceleration and the mass of a body in motion, an increase in acceleration causes a corresponding increase in resultant force.</u> A body with higher mass will have a larger strong force if the acceleration is kept constant.
