Gravity holds the system together

The force of gravity, attracting the Earth and the Moon to each other,
keeps the two bodies in orbit around their common center of mass.

(Gravity also keeps the common center of Earth-mass and Moon-mass
in orbit around the sun.)

Answer:

Weight

Explanation:

Weight is the downward pull on an object due to gravity.

For example, the moon has less gravity than Earth so we would weigh less on the moon. Our Mass and volume always stay the same but our weight could change.

A boy throws a stone straight upward with an initial speed of 15m/s. What maximum height will the stone reach before falling bac

Vitek1552 [10]

$height=\frac{velocity^2}{2gravity}\\\\
velocity=15\frac{m}{s}\\\\
g=9,8\frac{m}{s^2}\\\\height=\frac{15^2}{2*9,8}=\frac{225}{19,6}\\\\
\boxed{height=11,48\ meters}$
