a meteorite approaching a planet of mass M(in the straight line passing through the centre of the planet) collides with an automatic space station orbiting the planet in a circular trajectory of radius r. The mass of the station is ten times as large as the mass of meteorite. As a result of the collision, the meteorite sticks with the station which goes over to a new orbit with the minimum distance r/2 from the planet. Speed of the meteorite just before it collides with the space station is?
