$A$ satellite is moving with a constant speed '$V$' in a circular orbit about the Earth. An object of mass '$m$' is ejected from the satellite such that it just escapes from the gravitational pull of the Earth. At the time of its ejection,the kinetic energy of the object is

  • A
    $1/2 m V^2$
  • B
    $m V^2$
  • C
    $3/2 m V^2$
  • D
    $2 m V^2$
