Answer:
The fastest satellite must change orbit
The most massive body (m₁) transfers more momentum to the satellite,
Explanation:
For this problem we consider a system formed by the satellite and each of the bodies with which it collides, in this system the forces during the collision are internal, the amount of movement must be conserved. Let's write the momentum is two instants
Most massive body (m1)
initial. Before the crash
p₀₁ = M v + m₁ v₁
after the crash
= M v´ + m₁ v₁´
how momentum is conserved
p₀ = p_{f}
Lighter body (m2)
p₀₂ = M v + m₂ v₂
p_{f2} = M v´ + m₂ v₂´
Let's clarify that the speed of the satellite and the object do not have the same direction, in general these shocks are elastic.
We can see that p₀₁> p₀₂
Let us analyze the two cases when the body collides, The most massive body (m₁) transfers more momentum to the satellite, therefore there must be a greater change in its momentum and velocity.
The fastest satellite must change orbit, thus rotating at a different distance from Earth
