They decompose and leave their nutrients in the earth.
Law of conservation of momentum states that when two objects collide with each other , the sum of their linear momentum always remains same or we can say conserved and is not effected by any action, reaction only in case is no external unbalanced force is applied on the bodies.
Let,
m
A
= Mass of ball A
m
B
= Mass of ball B
u
A
= initial velocity of ball A
u
B
= initial velocity of ball B
v
A
= Velocity after the collision of ball A
v
B
= Velocity after the collision of ball B
F
ab
= Force exerted by A on B
F
ba
= Force exerted by B on A
Now,
Change in the momentum of A= momentum of A after the collision - the momentum of A before the collision

In the same way,

Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, then,

This is the derivation of conservation of linear momentum.
Answer:
The speed of the particle is 2.86 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
radius of the circular path, r = 2.0 m
tangential acceleration, 
= 4.4 m/s²
total magnitude of the acceleration, a = 6.0 m/s²
Total acceleration is the vector sum of tangential acceleration and radial acceleration
where;
is the radial acceleration
The radial acceleration relates to speed of particle in the following equations;
where;
v is the speed of the particle
Therefore, the speed of the particle is 2.86 m/s
