assuming they stick to each other
mass bike * v bike = (mass of bike+car) * ( v of bike+car)
since mass of bike+car is huge compared to mass of bike, the end velocity is tiny
It is, but the radius of the orbit of earth due to satellite is miniscule compared to the orbit radius of the satellite around earth
force of each on the other the same G Mearth Msat /d^2
inward acceleration * mass of each = that force =
m * orbit radius *omega^2
if m is huge, orbit radius is tiny
1. A bicyclist and a parked car have a head-on collision. Compare the relative motions on each.
2. Why isn't the Earth pulled into orbit around a communication satellite?

A better way to say it is that both orbit around the center of mass of satellite earth system However that is very close to earth center because of the huge difference in mass.
