Which could cause a satellite to descend low enough that it burns up in the earths atmosphere? a. centripetal force b. air resistance c. gravitational force

B. Air resistance

Explanation:

If the distance at which the satellite orbits is not enough to avoid the atmospheric drag, it will be affected by the friction of the Earth's atmosphere and the drag will slow down the speed of the satellite. Therefore, It will result in the reduction in the altitude of a satellite's orbit and eventually burn.
