Two satellites of same mass m are revolving around earth(M) in same orbit of radius r. Rotational directions of the 2 satellites are opposite, therefore they can collide. Total mechanical energy of the system (both satellites and earth) is (m<<M) __?
1)-GMm/r
2)-2GMm/r
3)-GMm/2r

1)Does the rotation of the satellites need to be opposite? 2)What happened to the effect of one satellite on other? Won't that affect the total energy?
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! There’ll be much hollying and jollying, but there will also be plenty…
