Lets assume you could fire a 100kg projectile using a coilgun at 1 degree above the horizon and have it arrive safely at 400km altitude traveling at 7.8km/s (or slightly more if that helps).
How much delta-v would it need to correct its trajectory into a stable orbit?
If it matters let's assume it is at and along the equator.
And also assume it can withstand the heating and drag of the atmosphere.
