Answer:
b) The downward force of gravity
Explanation:
The gravity force has the biggest influence on the deceleration of the ball because no matter how much force you applied on the ball, it will eventually go down again, according to newton's second law:
right after you throw the ball, only the force exerted by the gravity will affect the ball (neglecting air resistance):
so the object will eventually be going down again.
The weight of the shuttle is
Explanation:
The weight of an object on Earth is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.
The magnitude of the weight of an object is given by:
where
m is the mass of the object
is the acceleration of gravity on Earth's surface
And the direction is downward (towards the Earth's centre).
For the shuttle in this problem, its mass is
So, its weight is
Note that while the mass of an object (m) does not change, its weight (W) changes according to the location, since the value of g can be different at different location (for example, on the Moon, the value of g is about 1/6 the value of g on the Earth).
