Consider two satellites `A` and `B` of equal mass `m`, moving in the same circular orbit about the earth, but in the opposite sense as shown in Fig. The orbital radius is `r`. The satellites undergo a collision which is perfectly inelastic. For this situation, mark out the correct statement(s). [Take mass of earth as `M`]
