Answer:

the escape velocity

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, your rock has to go very fast – more than 11 kilometers per second. This velocity is called the escape velocity, the speed an object must achieve in order to overcome the gravitational attraction of a celestial body (be it a planet, a star, or a galaxy) and escape into space
