There are many factors which contributes as to how a machine will be processing the input energy and convert it to output energy. Even with identical mechanism, these factors will have major effect on the output. Some factors are deflection, friction and wear. Some system maybe exposed to poor lubrication than the other which'll produce more friction and wear thus lower mechanical advantage.
Answer:
a.After
second Mr Comer's speed

b.Distance travelled by Mr.Comer in
seconds

Explanation:
a. Lets recall our first equation of motion 
Now we know that
,
and

Plugging the values we have.




Then Mr.Comer's speed after
sec

b.
Lets find the distance and recall our third equation of motion.

So
distance covered.
Dividing both sides with 2a we have.

Plugging the values.


So Mr.Comer will travel a distance of
.
It can be stored on the land surface as ice and snow...it can seep into the earth and be stored as surface water...it can flow in the surface of lands.
Think in gravity, the moon is orbiting the Earth because of gravitational pull/force. Without this gravitational pull, the moon will just move in a straight line (Newton's first law).
