B

The earth is larger (approximately 6 times larger) than the moon hence it will have a stronger gravitational pull on the shuttle than the moon has on the shuttle. Because the shuttle is halfway between the moon and earth, the influence of distance in the gravity formula between the two is negated.

Explanation:

Gravitation force depends on distance and mass of objects in the universe. The bigger the mass of an object the higher its gravitational pull while the shorter the distance between the objects the higher the gravitaiton pull between the two. This phenomenon is described by the formulae below;

F = G (M1 – M2) / r2

Where;

F = gravitational force

G = Gravitational constant

M1 = mass of the first object

M2 = mas of the second object

R = distance between the two objects

B. The mass of the earth is much greater than that of the moon, and therefore since it is the same distance between the moon and the earth the gravitational pull from the earth is stronger than that of the moon.

The mixture you separated was a mixture of iron filings, sand, and salt. Based on your understanding of matter, is this mixture
V125BC [204]

Answer: Heterogeneous mixture - the parts are not uniformly mixed.

A mixture contains components having distinct chemical properties. There are two types of mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous. In a homogeneous mixture there is uniform distribution of components. we cannot distinguish one portion of the mixture from another. for example salt mixed in water. In heterogeneous mixture, the components are not uniformly mixed. hence, we are able to distinguish different parts of a mixture, like the mixture of iron, sand and salt given in this question.

What is the average acceleration of a car that goes from rest to 60 km/h in 8 seconds?  Be sure to show all work to support your
wel
The average acceleration can be found by dividing the final speed by the time taken to reach said point so in this case you divide 60 by 8 resulting in 7.5 which will be your answer

Which scientist contributed to disproving spontaneous generation?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

A. John Tyndall

Explanation:

In 1887, John Tyndall confirmed the theory of <u>biogenesis</u>, formulated by Luis Pasteur in 1864, applying sterilization by <u>discontinuous heating</u>, a process that is currently known as tyndalization. Evidence of the existence of resting microbacterial forms, very resistant to heat.

Thanks to this demonstration he is recognized as the <em>father of microbiology</em> with Pasteur. The theory brought down the previous idea of ​​the Spontaneous Generation, which remained in force since 1745.
