Answer:

Diana's speed relative to ground is <u>16 km/h</u> in the direction of motion of train.

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity of train in forward direction is, v_{t,g}=20\ km/h

Here, v_{t,g}\to \textrm{velocity of the train relative to ground.}

Velocity of Diana relative to train in the backward direction is, v_{D,t}=-4\ km/h

Negative sign implies backward motion or motion opposite to the direction of train's motion. Here, Diana is walking from front of train to back. So, Diana is moving in the opposite direction.

Now, we know that, for two bodies 'A' and 'B', velocity of 'A' relative to ground is given as:

v_{A,g}=v_{B,g}+v_{A,B}

Therefore, velocity of Diana relative to ground is given as:

v_{D,g}=v_{t,g}+v_{D,t}

v_{D,g}=(20-4)\ km/h

v_{D,g}=16\ km/h

So, Diana's speed relative to ground is 16 km/h in the direction of motion of train.

Answer:

<h2>Radiation</h2>

Explanation:

<h3>Greetings !</h3>

The Sun reaches us by propagating through the vacuum of space. Sunlight reaches the Earth in about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. When this energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, both conduction and convection play key roles to scatter it throughout the planet.

What is the equation for net force
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Is to add all forces, for example either the gf = gravitational force

Ff= force fiction

Fn= normal force

Thus, fg + ff + fn = y will give you results

Well then the forces you use in your exercises or questions.

How do fission nuclear reactions differ from fusion nuclear reactions?
Serhud [2]
The path of the raction occurs on the basis of mass of the nuclei involved in reaction.
In case of nuclear fusion, two or more nuclei having less mass fuse(combine, join) together to form a new nuclei(heavier mass but it is relatively stable). During fusion, matter is not conserved because some of the matter is converted into energy(light). This reaction evolves a huge amount of energy and there comes Einstein's famous Energy-mass equivalence formula E=mc^2! :D. The nuclear reaction occuring in stars(including our sun ) is "fusion".

Fission occurs with heavier nuclei such as that of Uranium-235. Which splits into smaller subatomic particles like gamma, neutrons and enormous amount of energy.
Both, Fission and Fusion releases enormous amount of energy and modern nuclear weapons works on the principle of nuclear fission.

Explain the difference between rotation and revolution. Then use these terms to explain how earth
natima [27]

Answer:

The difference between rotations and revolutions is , when an object turns around an internal axis (like the Earth turns around its axis) it is called a rotation. When an object circles an external axis (like the Earth circles the sun) it is called a revolution.

Explanation:

While rotation means spinning around its own axis, revolution means to move around another object. Taking the example of the Earth, which rotates 366 times to complete one revolution around the Sun.
