Relevant Equations

R1 = (m2/(m1+m2))r

Two bodies with masses m2 and m1, m2=a.m1 and m2>m1 orbit each other in circular orbits. if the barycenter moves at a speed v with respect to an inertial reference frame, What should be the relative speed of the bodies so that m1’s orbit in this inertial frame will have cusps?

You need to show some work before we can offer assistance. You could begin by adding some additional relevant equations.
