M A binary star system has two stars, each with the same mass M, that are separated by a distance of 2a. The two stars are not moving significantly in this problem (i.e. consider them a fixed in space). A comet of mass m is initially in position 1, a 2) m distance d away from the midpoint (point 2) between the two a - - - - stars, and moves straight towards point 2 with a speed v1. M a = 4.00 x 1012m d = 3.00 x 1012m M = 2.00 x 1030kg m = 1.00 x 10'kg V1 = 7.50 x 103m/s
