My understanding is that most satellites are about 100 mile out. How fast would a satellite need to be traveling to be launched those 100 miles from earth? To make it a little easier, lets say the satellite is launched from Denver. Again, no rockets on the satellite, just the velocity needed to overcome the earth’s gravitational pull. Pointing me in the right direction is fine i.e. equations I need, websites, whatever. TIA!
