Answer:

As it gets further away, gravity diminishes so it decelerates more slowly. Eventually, it gets to some distance where it has come to a stop, but Earth's gravity no longer has any effect on it. The velocity our object had at Earth's surface is Earth's escape velocity.

Answer: to leave Earth's gravitational pull, it must reach Earth's escape velocity, meaning reach a speed of 7 miles per second (~11 km per second)
