Answer:
Explanation:
The center of mass lies on a line that joins position 4 of one start with position 4 of the other star. The shortest distance between these two points will produce the largest velocity. You are using F = m v^2/R
Small R = large force.
Large Force = increased speed.
The masses don't have any effect on the outcome: they remain constant.
Answer:
I believe Mercury has the most extreme temperatures in the solar system, ranging from -280?F at night to 800 degrees F during the day for parts of the surface.
Hope that helps! :)

It's not so much a "contradiction" as an approximation. Newton's law of gravitation is an inverse square law whose range is large. It keeps people on the ground, and it keeps satellites in orbit and that's some thousands of km. The force on someone on the ground - their weight - is probably a lot larger than the centripetal force keeping a satellite in orbit (though I've not actually done a calculation to totally verify this). The distance a falling body - a coin, say - travels is very small, and over such a small distance gravity is assumed/approximated to be constant.
