(a) What would be the gravitational acceleration on the surface of object A? You should ignore
B's presence in this case.
(b) Find the escape velocity of object B. Again, ignore A's presence.
(c) Now let's say these two objects, A & B start to move towards each other
dude to mutual gravitational attraction. Find the time when they will
collide with each other. Express you answer in terms of the given parameters
and any universal constant.
