A rocket's speed is 11 kilometre per just a second. Depends on the rocket and the payload. For a baseline Apollo 12 was traveling a 1000 feet per second when it was breaking away from earths gravity.

It varies depending on the Rocket. The Saturn V rockets that took men to the moon eventually accelerated up to 17,500 mph.

New Horizons, a space probe sent to Pluto aboard a modified Lockheed Martin Atlas V 551 rocket, achieved the highest launch velocity and so has left Earth faster than any other spacecraft to date (36,900 mph).

What kind of force is it when rockets escape from gravity?

If the rocket has a certain speed, it will escape from gravity due to its own momentum. To speed the rocket up, currently chemical combustion is used. The burning gas goes out in one direction, thus pushing the rocket in the opposite direction.If the rocket has a certain speed, it will escape from gravity due to its own momentum.
