Two objects are floating in a region free of other gravitating bodies. The first object has a mass of 1.4x10^15kg and a radius of 19000m. The second object has a mass of 4.9x10^16kg and a radius of 13000m. They initially rest with a distance of 810000m apart.
A) Determine the force acting on each object initially
B) b/c their mutual gravitational attraction, the two objects will drift towards each other and collide. Determine the speed of each at the instant of collision.
