A body A of mass m is moving in a circular orbit of radius R about a planet. Another body B of mass collides with A with a velocity which is half the instantaneous velocity of A. The collision is completely inelastic. Then, the combined body :
- Astarts moving in an elliptical orbit around the planet.
- BFalls vertically downwards towards the planet
- CEscapes from the Planet's Gravitational field.
- Dcontinues to move in a circular orbit
