$A$ satellite of mass $\frac{M}{2}$ is revolving around the Earth in a circular orbit at a height of $\frac{R}{3}$ from the Earth's surface. The angular momentum of the satellite is $M \sqrt{\frac{GMR}{x}}$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . ,where $M$ and $R$ are the mass and radius of the Earth,respectively. ($G$ is the gravitational constant)

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