escape the gravitational well and if the planetoid has one, the atmosphere.
the rocket speed required to escape out of the earth's gravity is known as escape velocity which is numerically equal to 11.2 km per sec.
Escape velocity is given by. √2gR or √2GM/R .therefore escape velocity is directly prop. to gravity of a planet or star or any other body. More is the gravity more is the escape velocity. The escape velocity of our earth is 11.2 km/s and that of moon is 2.31 km/s
it = speed over time
The two words are synonyms. However, in physics there is a more precise definition, which is a change in an object's position in a specified direction with time. So in everyday language we could say the speed of the car is 60 miles per hour, but in physics you'd say its velocity is 60 miles per hour North/South/East/West.
No. Circular motion can have constant speed but varying velocity. Constant speed means constant speed in any direction, like a car on cruise control turning a corner. Constant velocity means constant speed in a straight line. If the direction changes, that's considered a change in velocity.
Satellites are traveling at less than escape velocity. (roughly, orbital velocity is about 7 tenths of escape).

You mean what is the escape velocity of Earth? If so, the answer is 11,2 km/s
The escape velocity of a black hole is equal or greater than the speed of light, so light cannot escape
Escape velocity is the speed you would have to go to escape gravity.
The escape speed from the surface of the earth, or the "escape velocity" from the earth is about 11.2km/s.
You don't. "Escape velocity" is a meaningless number. "Escape velocity" is the speed at which a CANNON SHELL must be fired in order to escape from the Earth's gravity well. With a powered rocket, you can "escape" from the Earth's gravity at ANY speed - as long as you have enough fuel.
Assuming there is no air resistance, if an object starts at a speed of 11.2 km/sec, it can escape the gravitational field of Earth. This "escape velocity" is different for different planets, moons, etc.Assuming there is no air resistance, if an object starts at a speed of 11.2 km/sec, it can escape the gravitational field of Earth.

Yes. Probes have already be sent to the Moon, and other planets; this requires a velocity very near the escape velocity from Earth. Other probes are leaving the Solar System, so they achieved the much higher escape velocity required to escape the attraction from the Sun.
That will depend not only on the escape velocity, but also - very importantly - on the object's speed.
That would be its escape velocity.
