I am just curious to know what the advantages are to using center of mass for velocity are in a system of particles?
Also, how did Newton prove that the motion of the planets around the sun was the same as a projectile on Earth (I understand that this helped prove the force of gravity was responsible for both, but i don't understand how he proved them inherently the same)
Thanks
