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
fixed in space). A comet of mass m is initially in position 1, a
distance d away from the midpoint (point 2) between the two
stars, and moving straight towards point 2 with a speed v₁.
M = 2.00 × 1030 kg
a = 4.00 x 10¹2m d = 3.00 × 10¹2m
