The word object is a very general term. A photon is also an object, and it does travel
at the speed of light. But it never travels at any other speed, so it doesn't "gain"
that speed. If we were to ask about objects made of atoms, then the answer is no,
they can never accelerate to the velocity of light. They can get arbitrarily close,
depending upon how much energy is used to accelerate them, but they can never
actually get to the full speed of light.

Can an object have velocity more than light?
no
What is when an object could gain a velocity without an external force?
Gravity
What height will it gain after the escape velocity becomes half?
That will depend not only on the escape velocity, but also - very importantly - on the object's speed.
What does an object do when it absorbs all light that strikes it?
the atom of the object will gain kinetic energy from the light
Does an object gain momentum when it speeds up?
Yes The equation for momentum is mass x velocity So if you increase velocity the momentum increases
What describes how fast an object is moving and in what dirrection?
The maximum speed of any object is hardly equal to speed of light which is 3*10^8 approximately.
Why does a moving object gain mass?
Mass is the sum of energies, both kinetic and potential. As the velocity increases so does the kinetic energy of object.
The speed of an object and the direction of its motion?
the object's 'velocity'
What happens when you have unbalanced forces acting on an object?
Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.Then the object accelerates; its velocity changes.
Can any object move with the velocity of light?
No object that has mass when it's just sitting there on the table can move at the speed of light. Photons have zero "rest mass".
What is an example of an object moving at constant speed and constant velocity?
Photon or rather light
What is the velocity of a object?
the velocity of an object is its speed and direction
