Two things can happen to <u>old satellites</u>: For the closer satellites, engineers will use its last bit of fuel to slow it down so it will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. Further satellites are instead sent even farther away from Earth.
If the moon was hit by an asteroid there would be a crater mark and possible movement.
Earth's gravity and the satellite's velocity keeps it so that it stays in orbit. (there is a more complicated side, too...)
Answer:
b. they can be observed and measured
Explanation:
Matter is anything that has weight and occupy space. There are three states of matter namely Solid, liquid and gas.
The properties of matter are both physical and chemical in nature. Both properties can be measured and observed. Phhysical properties are anything that can be measured without changing the state of the matter. Example of physical properties includes mass, volume, length, color etc.
Chemical properties is another properties of matter. This is the ability of the states of matters to combine with other substance to form a new product for example, rusting of iron, formation of salt etc.
All this as discussed are both measurable and can be observed.
