Q.
Two stars of masses 3 × 1031 kg each, and at distance 2 × 1011 m rotate in a plane about their common centre of mass O. 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 O is: (Take Gravitational constant G = 6.67 × 10–11 Nm2 kg–2)
- A
2.8 × 105 m/s
- B
1.4 × 105 m/s
- C
2.4 × 104 m/s
- D
3.8 × 104 m/s
