The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Meteorites**: Meteorites are solid fragments from space that fall to Earth. They provide valuable information about the composition of celestial bodies and the processes that occur in space. 2. **Analyzing Meteorite Contents**: Scientists have conducted extensive studies on meteorites and found that their chemical and mineral compositions are similar to those found on Earth. This suggests that similar processes that led to the formation of these materials on Earth may also be occurring elsewhere in the universe. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Life came on earth due to meteorite hit." This is not supported by current scientific theories, as life is believed to have originated from pre-existing cells and evolved over time. - **Option 2**: "Similar processes are occurring elsewhere in space that had occurred on earth." This is supported by the analysis of meteorite contents, indicating that the same types of processes can happen in different locations in the universe. - **Option 3**: "All stars originated at the same time." This statement is incorrect as stars form at different times and from different processes. - **Option 4**: "Water is essential for the origin of life." While this is true, it does not directly relate to the analysis of meteorites. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis of meteorite contents, the correct answer is **Option 2**: "Similar processes are occurring elsewhere in space that had occurred on earth." ---

A satellite of mass M is in a circular orbit of radius R about the centre of the earth. A meteorite of the same mass, falling towards the earth, collides with the satellite completely inelastically. The speeds of the satellite and the meteorite are the same, just before the collision. The subsequent motion of the combined body will be:
