the other day i was looking at the moon and was thinking about its orbit and 
the path it travels or seems to travel. i know that on a Velocity vs Time 
graph the area under the graph is equal to the displacement, but if we plotted 
the moon's displacement vs time and velocity vs time and calculated the area 
under those graphs what would that give us?
im nto sure if this makes sense but any input would be appreciated.
