A binary star system consists of two stars, each of mass 2 *10^30 ??. The initial positions of Star A and Star B are ?⃗?? =〈−3, −4, 0〉 * 10^9 ? and ?⃗?? = 〈3, 4, 0〉 * 10^9 ? respectively.The magnitude of the gravitational force that one star exerts onanother is about 2.7 * 10^30 N.

The initial velocity of Star B is ?⃗?? = 〈−6.5,4.9,0〉*10^4 ? ? .What is the approximate velocity of Star B after a time step ofabout 1 hour (∆? = 3.6*10^3 ?)?

What is the approximate new position of Star B after a time stepof about 1 hour (∆? = 3.6*10^3 ?)?
