Question

A satellite is moving with speed v in a circular orbit about the earth. An object of mass 2m is ejected, from the satellite such that it just escapes from the gravitational pull of earth. At the time of ejection the kinetic energy of object is ? ( does we consider potential energy of satellite and object while applying energy conservation
