Homework Statement
I have two planets of equal mass at points (0,-1) and (0,1) on my axes and I want to find the y-velocity of the planet at (0,1) that will make this a closed orbit. We can uniquely determine the y-velocity of the with this because linear momentum must be zero. Any ideas? What formulas should I use? The center of mass is fixed at the origin.
