what is the percentage change in kinetic energy of a sattelite required to make it leave its orbit and escape to infinity.

It depends on the current kinetic energy of the satellite under orbit. Assuming it as K, the energy required for 'escaping' into space is 62.7m, where m is the satellite's mass. [½mv², and v=11.2km/s]. Hence the percentage change is 100(62.7m-K)/K.
Hence your question is incomplete and require additional parameters.

Nice, You r taking Physics so easy to play here.I lost unnecessary my 5 valuable years on this subject.
Your answer is nil.

i guess 100%
he will lose all his kinetic energy
