Two stars each of one solar mass (= 2×1030 kg) are approaching each other for a head on collision. When they are a distance 109 km, their speeds are negligible. What is the speed with which they collide ? The radius of each star is 104 km. Assume the stars to remain undistorted until they collide. (Use the known value of G)

Two asteroids strike head-on: before the collision, asteroid A AmA = 7.5 * 10 3.3 kms 12 kgB Ge has velocity and asteroid B AmB = 1.45 * 10 1.4 kms 13 kgB A has velocity in the opposite
direction. If the asteroids stick together, what is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the new asteroid after the collision?
