"Escape velocity" is a misnomer; there isn't any such thing. "Escape velocity" is the speed that it would take a projectile to escape completely from the Earth's gravity, IF IT WERE FIRED FROM THE SURFACE FROM A CANNON.
The "escape velocity" from Earth is about 7 miles per second, or 25,000 miles per hour. But the Apollo spacecraft that went to the Moon didn't go anywhere near that speed. It didn't have to, because it was propelled by a rocket engine. With a big enough engine and enough fuel, you could "escape" from the Earth at 5 miles per hour, or less. It would be TERRIBLY wasteful of fuel, which is why we don't do it that way.

What is escape volocity?
Escape velocity is the minimum speed that an object must reach to break free from the gravitational pull of a celestial body. This velocity allows the object to overcome the body's gravitational force and enter into space. The specific value of escape velocity depends on the mass and radius of the celestial body.
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 is the escape velocity of mercury?
The escape velocity of Mercury is about 4.3 km/s, which is the speed an object must reach to break free from Mercury's gravitational pull and move into space.
Does the escape velocity on a planet depend upon its density or mass?
No, its depends on the planets gravitational pull
How does the escape velocity from a black hole compare with the speed of light?
The escape velocity of a black hole is equal or greater than the speed of light, so light cannot escape

Does every planet have an escape velocity?
"Escape velocity" is defined as the velocity required in order to guarantee that the object will not fall back under the influence of the planet's gravitational attraction. If it's possible to escape from a planet's gravitational attraction, then an escape velocity can be defined and calculated.
