Two satellites move along a circular orbit in the same direction at a small distance from each other. A container has to be thrown from the first satellite on the second a one. When will the container reach the second satellite earlier, if it is thrown in the direction of motion of the first satellite or in the opposite direction? The velocity of the container is small in comparison to that of the satellite.
