Two bodies of masses m_(1) and m_(2) are initially at infinite distance at rest. Let they start moving towards each other due to gravitational attraction. Calculate the (i) ratio of accelerations and (ii) speeds at the point where separation between them becomes r.

Two particles of masses m_(1) and m_(2) initially at rest a infinite distance from each other, move under the action of mutual gravitational pull. Show that at any instant therir relative velocity of approach is sqrt(2G(m_(1)+m_(2))//R) where R is their separation at that instant.
