An experiment is performed in deep space with two uniform
spheres, one with mass 30.0 kg and the other with mass
103.0 kg . They have equal radii, r =
0.10 mm . The spheres are released from rest with their
centers a distance 45.0 mm apart. They accelerate toward
each other because of their mutual gravitational attraction. You
can ignore all gravitational forces other than that between the two
spheres.
Part A
When their centers are a distance 25.0 m apart, find
the speed of the 30.0 kg sphere.
Part B
Find the speed of the sphere with mass 103.0 kg.
Part C
Find the magnitude of the relative velocity with which one
sphere is approaching to the other.
Part D
How far from the initial position of the center of the
30.0 kg sphere do the surfaces of the two spheres
collide?
Express your answer using two significant figures.
