#"(4)"\ 1.07 × 10^4\ "m/s"#

Explanation:

Total energy while launching the body

#"T.E"_i = -"GMm"/"R"_"e" + 1/2\ "mv"^2#

Total energy when it just reaches a height of #"10R"_"e"#

#"T.E"_f = -"GMm"/("R"_"e" + "10R"_"e") = -"GMm"/(11"R"_"e")#

By conservation of energy

#"T.E"_i = "T.E"_f#

#-"GMm"/"R"_"e" + 1/2\ "mv"^2 = -"GMm"/("11R"_"e")#

Divide both sides by #"m"#

#-"GM"/"R"_"e" + "v"^2/2= -"GM"/("11R"_"e")#

#"v"^2/2 = "GM"/"R"_"e"[1 - 1/11]#

#"v" = sqrt("20GM"/"11R"_"e")#

Substitute the values

#"v" = sqrt((20 × 6.67 × 10^-11\ "Nm"^2"/kg"^2 × 6 × 10^24\ "kg")/(11 × 6.4 × 10^6\ "m")#

#"v" ≈ 1.07 × 10^4\ "m/s"#
