Assignment for 10/5

So, velocity is a lovely thing, no?  I particularly like the thought of escape velocity.  This is the speed in an upward direction you need to achieve to escape a planet's gravitational field.

To escape Earth, you need to be going over 25, 000 mph.  Yowza.

Can you put the following escape velocities in the order of the nine eight planets starting with Mercury?    Good luck.  Do a little thinking, you will do fine.  Hint: Size is a factor.  Due Friday 10/5 with your quiz.  You gotta get one easily-- the third one is done for you. :)  Happy rocket science to you!
