C) Both are equal due to equal distances.

D) Both are equal due to the mass of the shuttle.
its D

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

mark as brilliant answer ✌✌

Answer 2

The statement that is correct is the earth pulls more on the shuttle. (Option B)

Explanation:

• Due to the moon the gravitational force occur on the shuttle thus the moon is described to be proportional to the shuttle’s mass.
• On the earth the mass is said to be much greater than the moon thus the same distance between the moon and earth  creates a gravitational pull .
• Additionally, there is the  square of the shuttle –Earth distance that happens due to the earth proportional to the shuttle mass.
