A meteorite strikes Earth and forms a crater, decreasing the meteorite’s momentum to zero. Does this phenomenon contradict the conservation of momentum? Choose as many answers as you think are correct.
(a) No, because the meteorite system is not isolated
(b) No, because in the meteorite-Earth system, Earth acquires momentum lost by the meteorite
(c) No, because the meteorite brings momentum from space
(d) Yes, because the meteorite is not moving relative to a medium before the collision
