You have to read this carefully enough that you don't mix up energy and forces.
Gravity is a force. If you don't believe me try jumping off a building. Which way are you going to go and why? Down because gravity attracts your mass.
So Magnetism must be a force as well. It acts in one direction, but not a specific one the way gravity acts). It also either attracts or repulses (pushes an object away)
Answer A
Answer:
The applied torque is 3.84 N-m.
Explanation:
Given that,
Moment of inertia of the wheel is 
Initial speed of the wheel is 0 (at rest)
Final angular speed is 25 rad/s
Time, t = 13 s
The relation between moment of inertia and torque is given by :
So, the applied torque is 3.84 N-m.
It is the energy an object has because of its motion.
A couple of things, if the shuttle burned all of it's fuel before entering Earth's atmosphere then that means that the shuttle was accelerating towards Earth until it ran out of fuel. At that point, there is little to no air resistance (friction) by the lack of an atmosphere so it keeps accelerating due to Earth's gravitational force. The closer the shuttle gets to Earth the stronger the gravitational pull the shuttle experiences. Note that, once the shuttle reaches Earth's atmosphere it will cause significant amount of friction and thus will cause the shuttle to slow down.
