The way your question is phrased is ambivalent. But I think you're asking is your apparent speed over the ground greater if you're travelling west than if you're travelling east. The answer is yes, because you're going aganst the rotation of the earth. In fact some artificial satellites are designed to travel around the earth at the same rate and direction as it rotates and are known as geo-stationary satellites because they appear not to move.

What direction will the shuttle come from when it appears in the sky?
forwards It is always traveling around the Earth in the same direction as we are rotating, but much faster. The space shuttle when in space can point in any direction, as there in no up and down. It still keeps moving in the same direction, even with engines facing forward.

Photons are vibrating so some photon which are moving with a velocity of light and also vibreting in direction of moving light so photon tavell faster than light?
Light waves are made up of electrical waves and magnetic waves that are perpendicular to each other and support each other, they are also perpendicular to the direction the waves are traveling so there are no vibrations in the direction the light travels.

How does the velocity of an object traveling in a straight line change if a nonzero net force acts in the same direction as the objects velocity?
Velocity is a vector that represents an object's speed and direction, so the speed of the object increases because an unbalanced force is making the object go faster.
What if an object is traveling faster than another?
Object will get there first.
