The fact that Earth observers always see teh same side of the Moon is explained by the Moon's (what)

 

a. eclipse

b. penumbra

c. gravity

d. synchronous rotation

i would say d, but i have no idea what b is so that might be the answer

Its not like you even need physics to answer that question, a dictionary would allow for an accurate guess.

Right, my guess is probably D

as Dictionary.com says

Synchronous rotation is the result of tidal forces that over time slow the rotation of the smaller body until it is synchronized with its period of revolution around the larger body. The Earth's Moon exhibits synchronous rotation, as do a majority of moons in the solar system

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit. :rolleyes:
