How much work is done when a satellite is launched into orbit?

[QUOTE="tuki, post: 6127552, member: 656961"] Yes, I can get the correct answer by adding kinetic energy from the speed $$ E_{kinetic} = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 $$ to the potential energy I already computed. I wonder if it would be possible to derive the work required to accelerate an object to a given speed (when mass is known) starting from Newton's second law? $$ F = ma $$ I mean you start from Newton's second law and end up with a formula for kinetic energy?
