The answer is C. A projectile is an object in motion from space that enters the earth’s atmosphere. When it gets to the earth, it is pulled by the force of earth's gravity. As it enters earth’s atmosphere, its inertia determines its path. The mass of the object determines its inertia. The more mass it has the higher its inertia which causes it to have a longer curvature when pulled by earth’s gravity.
