I'm 90,000 miles from a distant 'virtual' planet. Call it a point. Beginning from zero, I continue to accelerate. Passing through that point I record my speed. (the mass of the planet can be anything).
I do this again while increasing my distance from this point to 110,000 miles. I record my speed at exactly 100,000 miles. (10,000 miles short of the point).
Are they the same speeds? Can someone help me to set this problem up so I know what I'm doing in the future? I'm not a great algebra student. Yes, I tried astonomy/space.
