Two satellites move along a circular orbit in the same direction at a small distance from each other. A container has to be thrown from the first satellite on the second a one. When will the container reach the second satellite earlier, if it is thrown in the direction of motion of the first satellite or in the opposite direction? The velocity of the container is small in comparison to that of the satellite.

Explanation

To solve the problem of when a container thrown from the first satellite will reach the second satellite, we need to analyze the situation step by step.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Setup**:
- We have two satellites (Satellite A and Satellite B) moving in the same circular orbit at a small distance apart.
- A container is thrown from Satellite A towards Satellite B.
