Answer:
Space junk is travelling so fast that a collision with an astronaut or a spacecraft could be disastrous.
Explanation:
Space junk orbits the Earth at speeds of about 28 000 km/h.
That's so fast that even an orbiting fleck of paint has enough kinetic energy to cause impact craters on the surface of a spacecraft. They are even more dangerous to an astronaut on a space walk.
Much of the space debris is larger and more dangerous than a fleck of paint.
One rough estimate of the amount of space debris is
<em> </em><u>Size</u><em> </em> <u>Number of objects</u>
< 1 cm 200 000 000
1 cm to 10 cm 700 000
> 10 cm 30 000
Satellites, etc. 18 000
The chances of collision are small, but any collision can be disastrous.

Resistance of a material being scratched in known as: Hardness
Pole
Explanation:
A magnetic pole is the point on a magnet where a magnet effect is strongest. Around a magnet, there are magnetic fields.
- The magnetic fields are force fields that leaves the north poles and enters through the south.
- The pole is where magnetic effects are the strongest.
- It is around the pole that the strongest magnetic effect on a magnet or magnetic material is felt.
- The strength of magnetic fields are strongest at the poles.
