Detailed Solution

The minimum speed required by a rocket to put a satellite in space is 11.2 km/s.
It has been discovered that if the launch rocket achieves a minimum speed of 11.2 km/s, a satellite will overcome the force of gravity. A multistage rocket system is being developed to achieve such a speed. The first rocket in this system raises the launch vehicle to a certain height before detaching itself from the launch vehicle. At the same time, the second-stage rocket fires, accelerating the launch vehicle even further. This process is repeated until a specific speed is reached in order to overcome the force of gravity.
