A meteorite approaching a planet of mass...

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 the meteorite. As a result of the collision, the meteorite sticks in 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 planet is : .
