3. The mass of a spherical asteroid is 2.00x1022 kg and its radius is 2.00x10 meters. A space rock is 3.00x105 meters above the surface of the asteroid, and at that instant, the rock is moving directly toward the asteroid with a speed of 4.00x10³ m/s. The asteroid has no atmosphere. With what speed will the rock hit the asteroid if only the asteroid's gravity affects the rock?

Hunting a black hole. Observations of the light from a certain star indicate that it is part of a binary (two-star) system. This visible star has moves in a circle of radius r1 and has orbital period T. Variations in the brightness of nearby stars suggest that the unseen companion moves in a circle of radius r2 (see the figure). Find the approximate masses (a) m1 of the visible star and (b) m2 of the dark star. Express your answer in terms of r1, r2, T, and G. I asked this question before and recieved an incorrect answer, so I'm asking again.
