In physics, escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for an object to break free from the gravitational attraction of a massive body. The escape velocity from earth is about 40,270 km/h (25,020 mph).
   Any object with mass has an escape velocity. The escape velocity is  the velocity at which an object must travel in order to escape the  gravitational pull of the massive object. The escape velocity of  the Earth is 11.186 kilometers per second (a little over 25,000  miles per hour).
