A distant exo-planet has a mass that is 100 times bigger than the Earth's, and orbits at a distance 2 times as far from its star as the Earth does from our Sun. The star has the same mass as our Sun. What is the velocity of the star about the center of mass of the exo-planet/star system?

Mass of Earth = 6.0 x 1024 kg.

Distance of Earth from Sun = 150 x 109 m.

Mass of Sun = 2.0 x 1030 kg.
