A binary star system has two stars each with the same mass


A binary star system has two stars, each with the same mass as our sun, separated by 1.20×1012m. A comet is very far away and essentially at rest. Slowly but surely, gravity pulls the comet toward the stars. Suppose the comet travels along a straight line that passes through the midpoint between the two stars.

What is the comet's speed at the midpoint?
