A meteor starts very far from a star (mass 6.49x10^30 kg), so the gravitational attraction is effectively zero. At this distance, the meteor is moving toward the star at 7.03 km/s. Find the speed of the meteor, in km/s when it is distance 9.34x10^12 m from the star.
Here we use conservation of energy rule.
