Two stars each of one solar mass `(= 2xxl0^30 kg)` are approaching each other for a head on collision. When they are a distance `10^9 km`, their speeds are negligible. What is the speed with which they collide ? The radius of each star is `10^4 km`. Assume the stars to remain undistorted until they collide. (Use the known value of G).
