Two stars of masses 3 x 10" kg each, and at distance 2 x 10"m rotate in a plane about their common centre of mass 0. A meteorite passes through O moving perpendicular to the star's rotation plane. In order to escape from the gravitational field of this double star, the minimum speed that meteorite should have at 0 is: (Take Gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10 " Nm² kg-2) (A) 1.4 x 10°m/s (B) 24 x 10'm/s (C) 3.8 x 10 m/s Two stars of masses 3 x 10" kg each, and at distance 2 x 10"m rotate in a plane about their common centre of mass 0.
