If all else stays the same, which would cause an increase in the gravitational force on a space shuttle? increasing the distance of the space shuttle from earth decreasing the distance of the space shuttle from earth increasing the universal gravitational constant acting on the space shuttle decreasing the universal gravitational constant acting on the space shuttle

Decreasing the distance of the space shuttle from Earth .

Explanation:

According to expression of gravitational force:

G = gravitational constant

= masses of two objects

r = Distance between the two objects.

F = Gravitational force

From the above expression we can say that gravitational force is inversely proportional to squared of the distance between the two masses.

So, in order to increase the gravitational force on space shuttle distance between the space space shuttle  must be decreased.

Hence, the correct answer 'decreasing the distance of the space shuttle from Earth '.

iron would move it is magnetic there is a mag field around the current in the wire

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
