Displacement is usually how the messure the rock
The strength of the gravitational forces between two masses depends on
-- the product of the masses,
-- the distance between their centers of mass.
Well you of course have different kinetic energies with the two speeds.
Kinetic energy = (1/2)*mass*velocity^2
The vehicle's mass is the same in both cases, so we can ignore that as well as 1/2 since it's a constant.
So we have (30)^2 vs (60^2)
which is 900 vs 3600
So having 60 mph compared to 30 mph is 4 times the kinetic energy.
Answer:
The moon revolves around Earth because Earth is larger than the moon, so it is heavier, and has a greater gravitational pull. The plane of the moon's orbit is very close to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. This is why planets revolve around the Sun, because it is larger, so therefore it has a greater gravitational pull.
