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.

Explanation:

It is a 1-minute averaged measure of the hurricane's maximum winds. Westerlies are one of the breeze belts helping to shape and guide hurricanes. A tropical cyclone is a quickly spinning storm system with a low-pressure core, a closed small-level air vortex, gusty winds, and a thunder storm spiral structure that causes torrential rain or squalls.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

We finds that the winds are coming from the west at 15 miles per hour. This information shows the velocity of the wind. Since, velocity is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. 15 miles per hour shows the speed of wind and west shows the direction of wind motion.

Hence, the given information describes wind velocity.
