The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.
After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).
Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.
Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered <em>4.9 meters</em>.
ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.
For help with this answer, we look to Newton's second law of motion:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Since the question seems to focus on acceleration, let's get
'acceleration' all alone on one side of the equation, so we can
really see what's going on.
Here's the equation again:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Divide each side by 'mass',
and we have: Acceleration = (force) / (mass) .
Now the answer jumps out at us: The rate of acceleration of an object
is determined by the object's mass and by the strength of the net force
acting on the object.

Sorry don't know the answer
<h2>
Speed of motorboat is 36 km/hr and speed of current is 4 km/hr.</h2>
Explanation:
Let speed of motor boat be m and speed of current be c.
A motorboat traveling with a current can go 160 km in 4 hours.
Distance = 160 km
Time = 4 hours
Speed = m + c
We have
Distance = Speed x Time
160 = (m+c) x 4
m + c = 40 --------------------- eqn 1
Against the current it takes 5 hours to go the same distance.
Distance = 160 km
Time = 5 hours
Speed = m - c
We have
Distance = Speed x Time
160 = (m-c) x 5
m - c = 32 --------------------- eqn 2
eqn 1 + eqn 2
2m = 40 + 32
m = 36 km/hr
Substituting in eqn 1
36 + c = 40
c = 4 km/hr
Speed of motorboat is 36 km/hr and speed of current is 4 km/hr.
Answer:
Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, they carry out decomposition, a process possible by only certain kingdoms, such as fungi. Like herbivores and predators, decomposers are heterotrophic, meaning that they use organic substrates to get their energy, carbon and nutrients for growth and development. While the terms decomposer and detritivore are often interchangeably used, detritivores ingest and digest dead matter internally, while decomposers directly absorb nutrients through external chemical and biological processes. Thus, invertebrates such as earthworms, woodlice, and sea cucumbers are technically detritivores, not decomposers, since they must ingest nutrients - they are unable to absorb them externally.
