Train #1 leaves station A and accelerates east at 0.5 m/s/s. At the same instant #1 leaves station A, train #2 leaves station B, which is 1.0 km east of A, and accelerates west at 0.25m/s/s. Relative to station A, where would the two trains pass? Assume they were on parallel tracks.

The eight planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. . Mercury At a Glance.. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and due to its proximity it is not easily seen except during twilight. For every two orbits of the Sun, Mercury completes three rotations about its axis and up until 1965 it was thought that the same side of Mercury constantly faced the Sun. Thirteen times a century Mercury can be observed from the Earth passing across the face of the Sun in an event called a transit, the next will occur on the 9th May 2016.. Fill in the Comparing Planets Chart with what you already know about the planets.. How does Earth compare to other planets in the solar system?. S6E1c. Compare and contrast planets in terms of: size relative to earth; surface and atmospheric features; relative distance from the sun; ability to support life.
