Yes. It is different for different planets etc. Escape velocity on earth is different than escape velocity on Jupiter.

Why all objects travel at the same velocity?
All objects do not travel at the same velocity. As an example, you should take a few minutes and think about an earthworm and a jet airliner.
Will the objects attract in the space?
According to the classic Theory of Gravity described by Isaac Newton, all objects are attracted to one another at some infantesimal level. In the absence of any other objects, any 2 objects will eventually be drawn together and collide, assuming they are not moving away from each other at escape velocity. Escape velocity is the velocity at which an object will be slowed by the object it is escaping but will never be stopped and drawn back. In short, yes.
Who discovered that all objectsheavy or lightfall the same velocity?
Galileo Galilei was the first to explain that heavy and light objects would fall the same way in a vacuum. Keep in mind, objects do not fall with 'velocity,' but with 'acceleration.'
Is escape velocity of light infinity?
Not at all. It would take an infinitely large mass to produce an infinite escape velocity, and no such infinite mass exists. Furthermore, the escape velocity for any object is the same no matter what is trying to escape, so light does not have its own escape velocity. This question presumably concerns black holes. Light does not escape from black holes because the escape velocity is greater than the speed of light. The speed of light is not infinite, it is 300,000 kilometers per second.
How is the name black hole related to escape velocity?
The word "black" aptly describes the inability of light to escape - all light and matter that passes the event horizon can only do so in one direction, falling in. The reason is, the escape velocity inside the event horizon is greater than the speed of light, the event horizon itself being the boundary at which the escape velocity is equal to that speed. Outside that horizon, the escape velocity is less than the speed of light, hence it would be possible for light and objects moving at speeds approaching that of light to escape.
Why does a heavier object fall with the same accelerate as a lighter object?
all objects have a terminal velocity once youu reach terminal velocity you can not fall any faster
What and Velocity are defined the same for all objects?
Never. They're fundamentally different things. Velocity has a size and a direction. Its size alone, without the direction, is speed. So speed is one part of velocity, but not all of it, so they can never be the same. Something like a finger can never be the same as a hand.
Why don't all objects fall to the earth at the same velocity though the acceleration due to gravity always stays the same?
because of the differences in air resistance.
Why don't ALL objects fall to earth at the same velocity even though the acceleration due to gravity always stay the same?
