11. In everyday use and in kinematics, the speed of an object is the magnitude of the rate of change of its position with time or the magnitude of the change of its position per unit of time; it is thus a scalar quantity.
12. Speed is the time rate at which an object is moving along a path, while velocity is the rate and direction of an object's movement. Put another way, speed is a scalar value, while velocity is a vector. In its simplest form, average velocity is calculated by dividing change in position (Δr) by change in time (Δt).
13. Here we will learn the mathematical relation between the speed, distance and time. The speed of a moving body is the distance travelled by it in unit time. If the distance is in km and time is in hours, then the speed is km/hr. If the distance is in m and the time is in seconds, then the speed is m/sec.
14. Average speed is the distance traveled divided by elapsed time. We have noted that distance traveled can be greater than displacement. So average speed can be greater than average velocity, which is displacement divided by time
15. Both have the same average speed, so neither is the fastest. (Please see the solution in the picture)
16. Acceleration is a vector quantity which is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.
improved soil fertility
Explanation:
One direct benefit of biodiversity is improved soil fertility. Biodiversity is the variety of plants and animals living in a particular ecosystem.
A soli is made up of organic matter. Organic matter is the remain of dead and decaying plant and animal materials in the soil.
Organic matter is a very important soil component.
Since plants and animals eat up plants which takes nutrients from the soil, there must be a way to replenish these vital soil materials.
The more biodiverse an ecosystem, the better its chance of adding more nutrients to the soil as they decay.

Answer:
<u>Both of these are necessary to maintain overpopulation of any species in an ecosystem.</u>
Explanation:
- Predation is an act in which one organism eats another organism present in the ecosystem.
- The one eaten is called prey, while the dominant organism is called Predator.
- Since an ecosystem is made up of many organisms along with the natural resources present in it.
- This gives rise to different species competing against one another.
- If one of these species is at a certain advantage, their population will rise uncontrollably hence to prevent this a predator plays a major role.
- On the other hand, competition is a term which describes the harm caused to two different organisms.
- This is due to the limited number of natural resources like food, water or shelter etc.
- Organisms who are less likely to adapt according to the changing environment ultimately die.
- For example, Plant roots over time lessen the amount of nitrogen present in the soil, causing the neighboring plant to die.
