So there are different ways this could be solved. I'll do try to explain it the way I was taught... 

Simon is riding his bike at 12 km/hr relative to the sidewalk, away from where Keesha is.

Simon throws the ball at Keesha, at 5 km/hr. 

Keesha sees the ball approaching her at (12-5) = 7 km/hr relative to the ground to her. 

Therefore the answer is: 7 km/hr

What causes the random, zig-zag movement (Brownian motion) of smoke particles suspended in air?​
lidiya [134]

Answer:

It is caused by air molecules colliding with smoke particles

Explanation:

To start with, Brownian motion is the erratic or irregular movement of very small particles in a medium due to continuous bombardment by molecules that surround the medium.

Thus, smoke moves in a Zig-Zag manner (Brownian motion) due to continious air bombardment. If it were pollen grain suspended in water, the erratic movement (Brownian motion) of the grains is caused by bombardment from water molecules.

IrinaK [193]
The size of the forces between you and the planet you're on is
your weight on that planet.

Don't forget that you pull the planet with a force equal to the force
that the planet pulls on you.  Your weight on Earth is the same as
the Earth's weight on you !
