Minimum escape speed for leaving from the earth surface


The artificial Earth satellite is "parked" in an equatorial circular orbit at an altitude of 10,000 km. Determine the minimum additional speed which must be imparted to the satellite when it is to escape Earth's gravitational attraction? Determine how does this compare with the minimum escape speed for leaving from the Earth's surface (Determine the ration of this speed too escape velocity from the surface)?
