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

Such that it escapes to infinity

In a circular orbit of a different radius

In the same circular orbit of radius R

This question has Statement - I and Statement - II of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements. Statement - I: A point particle of mass m moving with speed ν collides with stationary point particle of mass M . If the maximum energy loss possible is given as f 1 2 m ν 2 then f = m M + m . Statement - II: Maximum energy loss occurs when the particles get stuck together as a result of the collision.

Statement- I is false, Statement- II is true.

Statement- I is true, Statement- II is false.

Statement- I is true, Statement- II is true, Statement- II is a correct explanation of Statement- I .

Statement- I is true, Statement- II is true, Statement- II is not a correct explanation of Statement- I .

A smooth sphere $A$ is moving on a frictionless horizontal plane with angular speed $ω$ and centre-of- mass velocity $v$ . It collides elastically and head-on with an identical sphere $B$ at rest. Neglect friction everywhere. After collision, their angular speeds are $ω_{A}$ and $ω_{B}$ respectively. Then:

A hollow smooth uniform sphere $A$ of mass $m$ rolls without sliding on a smooth horizontal surface. It collides elastically and head-on with another stationary smooth solid sphere $B$ of the same mass $m$ and same radius. The ratio of the kinetic energy of $B$ to that of $A$ just after the collision is
