Yeah definitely, it all makes me think. I've always had a strong interest in the universe, but since I hardly have any background in physics I really have to rack my brain when I can't seem to come up with answers. So I appreciate the help, even though these are simple questions! I'll be sure...

Alright, but the only object with a velocity is object B. Say the distance between A and B is x and between A and C is 2x. It makes sense that when object C is introduced object B will be released out of orbit in some direction, which is determined by the point at which object C is introduced in...
