Velocity and acceleration are vector quantities whereas speed, temperature and age are not.
<h3>What is a vector quantity?</h3>
Vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction and is represented by an arrow whose direction is same as that of the quantity and length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude.
Vector has magnitude and direction but it does not have position. Velocity and acceleration both are vector quantities as they have magnitude and direction.
If the speed of an object remains same but direction changes then the object is accelerating. It is important to remember that acceleration and velocity aren't always in the same direction.

Answer: The correct answer is option (C).
Explanation:
As it is given in the problem, the path of a meteor passing Earth is affected by its gravitational force and falls to Earth's surface. Another meteor of the same mass falls to Jupiter's surface due to its gravitational force.
According to Newton's law of universal gravitational, every particle attracts every other particles in the universe with the gravitational force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The Jupiter is the most massive planet in the solar system. It is also the largest planet in the solar system. The gravity of Jupiter on its surface is 2.4 times that of surface gravity of the Earth.
If a person weighs 100 pounds on the Earth then he would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (C), the meteor falls to Jupiter faster due to its greater gravitational force.
