A wreckage of mass m present in space collides with a satellite of mass 10m and orbital radius R as shown. As a result of collision, the wreckage sticks to the satellite and the satellite is transferred to an orbit whose minimum distance from the planet is R/2. If mass of planet is M, with what velocity the wreckage collided the satellite?

1.	A wreckage of mass m present in space collides with a satellite of mass 10m and orbital radius R as shown. As a result of collision, the wreckage sticks to the satellite and the satellite is transferred to an orbit whose minimum distance from the planet is R/2. If mass of planet is M, with what velocity the wreckage collided the satellite?
Answer» SOLUTION :`SQRT((58GM)/( R))`
