Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Gravitation: Problem Problem_81
In a double-star system, two stars of mass \(3.0 \times 10^{30} \text{ kg}\) each rotate about the system’s center of mass at radius \(1.0 \times 10^{11} \text{ m}\). (a) What is their common angular speed? (b) If a meteoroid passes through the system’s center of mass perpendicular to their orbital plane, what minimum speed must it have at the center of mass if it is to escape to "infinity" from the two-star system?
