Two stars each of one solar mass (= 2xx ...

Two stars each of one solar mass `(= 2xx 10^30 kg)` are approaching each other for a head on collision. When they are a distance 109 km, their speeds are negligible. What is the speed with which they collide? The radius of each star is 104 km. Assume the stars to remain undistorted until they collide. (Use the known value of G).
