Train A is moving at 100 kmh–1 through a station. Train B is also travelling at 100 kmh–1 through the station but in the opposite direction to train A. What is the speed of a seated passenger on? (a) train A relative to an observer on the station? (b) train A relative to another seated passenger on the same train? (c) train B relative to a passenger on train A?

Explanation:

(a) An observer on the station has a speed of 0 km/h.  The speed of  a passenger on Train A is 100 km/h.  The relative speed is 100 km/h − 0 km/h = 100 km/h.

(b) The speed of both passengers is 100 km/h, in the same direction.  The relative speed is 100 km/h − 100 km/h = 0 km/h.

(c) The speed of both passengers is 100 km/h, in opposite directions.  The relative speed is 100 km/h − (-100 km/h) = 200 km/h.

this could be newton#'s law of cooling. the cooling curve is exponential

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
