Escape the earth's gravitational pull and continue out into space. However, a rocket does not need to be launched at the escape velocity as it can continue to accelerate as it climbs. A gun projectile would need to be fired with the escape velocity. In a perfect system with only the projectile and the Earth: If the projectile is fired with the exact escape velocity it will travel to infinity away from the Earth. Upon reaching infinitely far away from Earth the projectile would have zero velocity. All of its kinetic energy (movement) would be transferred to potential energy.
Orbital velocity, or Close orbital velocity.
... accelerates at approx 9.81 metres per second squared and experiences weightlessness. Friction with the air prevents continuous acceleration and the falling body reaches a maximum velocity called the terminal velocity.
A rocket that doesn't reach "escape velocity" will be overcome by gravity and will be pulled back down to Earth. Also, rockets which go into orbit have not reached escape velocity. Escape velocity is what is needed to completely leave earth's gravity well.

The final speed of an object in free fall is known as terminal velocity. Terminal velocity on Earth can range from 54 meters per second (in SI units) to 90 meters per second based on aerodynamics.

The escape velocity from Earth is 11.2 kilometers/second. This is also the speed that an object would reach if it fell onto Earth's surface from far, far away ("infinity" is often used, to simplify calculations) - without air resistance, and without interference by other objects that might also attract it.The escape velocity from Earth is 11.2 kilometers/second.

For the Earth, escape velocity is approximately 25,000 MPH.
infinity
The velocity increases as it approaches the earth.
A satellite is in free fall. When the only force acting upon it is gravity, it reacts freely to this gravity, accelerating towards Earth. That is to say, instead of going in a straight line, the velocity vector changes direction, towards Earth. If the satellite is fast enough to be in orbit, it will never actually fall on Earth; but the velocity vector changes all the time.
Earth's velocity through space is 297,800 m/s
No. Earth's rotational velocity is slowing. Do you mean the velocity of Earth's revolution around the sun? The earth speeds up in its orbit until it reaches perihelion, and then slows until it reaches aphelion.
