Homework Statement
Let there be a Voyager 5 with two Earth's(I mean they have the same mass and density etc)
At start,Voyager 5 will be stationary.
I want to calculate the path of the Voyager and if possible,draw it on a graph.
Homework Equations
##F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}##
The Attempt at a Solution
I know I have to find the resultant force and accelerate the voyager in that direction.
My problem is that if I move it a little bit,the forces will change both direction and magnitude.Then I will again have to find the resultant force and accelerate it.This would be boring.
Is this really that difficult?Is there any other way?
I need your help here.
