A meteorite of mass m collides with a satellite which was orbiting around a planet in a circular path of radius R. Due to collision the meteorite sticks to the satellite (mass = 10 m) and the satellite is seen to have into an orbit whose minimum distance from the planet is R/2. Determine the velocity v of hte meterite before collision, Mass of the planet is M.

1.	A meteorite of mass m collides with a satellite which was orbiting around a planet in a circular path of radius R. Due to collision the meteorite sticks to the satellite (mass = 10 m) and the satellite is seen to have into an orbit whose minimum distance from the planet is R/2. Determine the velocity v of hte meterite before collision, Mass of the planet is M.
Answer» `SQRT((49GM)/(5R))` `sqrt((58GM)/(R ))` `sqrt((11GM)/(242R))` `sqrt((11GM)/(5R))` ANSWER :B
