Detailed Solution

For orbiting the earth close to its surface

=mv2R=GMmR2,ie,v0=GMR

=gR

v0=9.8×6.4×106

=8 kms1

For escaping from close to the surface of earth

GMmR=12mvt2,ve=2GMR=2gR

ve=2×v0=1.41×8kms1

=11.2 kms1

   the additional velocity to be imparted to the orbiting satellite for escaping is

11.28=3.2 kms1
