Physics

Two satellites, A and B, both ofmass m = 115 kg, move in the same circular orbit of radius r = 7.57106 m around Earth but in opposite senses of rotation and thereforeon a collision course.

a) What is the total mechanical energy EA +EB of the two satellites +Earth system before the collision?

b)If the collision is completely inelastic so that the wreckageremains as one piece of tangled material (mass = 2m), whatis the total mechanical energy immediately after the collision?
