A decomposition reaction would be the electrolysis.

Usually it is separated in two equations, one for oxidation and another for reduction, which are called half reactions:

2 H+ + 2e− → H2

2 H2O → O2 + 4 H+ + 4e−

Then you should add them up. In order for the equation to be balanced, the first equation has to be added twice:

2 H+ + 2e− + 2 H+ + 2e−+2 H2O → H2+ H2 + O2 + 4 H+ + 4e−

4 H+ + 4e− +2 H2O → 2H2 + O2 + 4 H+ + 4e−

Then you should cancel the substances which are both in reactives and in products, and also the electrons:

2 H2O → 2H2 + O2

And there you have the overall equation for electrolysis.

Electrolysis does not happen naturally – you have to provide electric energy for it to happen.

A synthesis reaction would be the opposite reaction, which would be called: electrosyntesis.

2H2 + O2 → 2 H2O

Why do you keep moving forward when you slam on the brakes of your bike?
g100num [7]
Because the act of braking is an example of negative acceleration.
Example: if the rate of braking was say 2 meters per second^2, and the starting velocity was 10 m/s, it would take 5 seconds to come to a stop(during those 5 seconds you would still be moving).

A 3.00-kg rifle fires a 0.00500-kg bullet at a speed of 300 m/s. Which force is greater in magnitude:(i) the force that the rifl
alekssr [168]

Answer:

C. both forces have the same magnitude

Explanation:

Here the action force is equal to the reaction force in accordance with the Newton's third law of motion.

Also when we apply the conservation of momentum so that the momentum bullet and the momentum of the gun are equal and according to the second law of motion by Newton, we have force equal to the rate of change in momentum.

We have the equation for momentum as:

p=m.v

Newton's second law is Mathematically given as:

F=\frac{dp}{dt}

Momentum is constant and the reaction time is equal, so the force exerted will also be equal.

PLEASE ANSWER, 75 PTS, AND BRANLIEST!
n200080 [17]

Answer:

An electromagnet is a device which moving electric charges(current) in a coil of wire create a magnet. Electromagnets can easily be turned off and on because it is a electromagnet. When current flows through a wire, a magnetic field is produced around a wire and create an electromagnet. The coils are always made of copper wire because copper is a good conductor of electricity.

Um ônibus percorre a distância de 480 km, entre Santos e Curitiba, com velocidade escalar média de 80 km/h. De Curitiba a Floria
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

10 h

Explanation:

velocidade é a taxa de variação da distância no tempo. é a razão entre a distância e o tempo

de Santos e Curitiba:

distância (d) de 480 km, velocidade (s) de 80 km/h

s=\frac{d}{t}\\ t=\frac{d}{s} =\frac{480}{80}=6h

de Curitiba e Florianópolis:

distância (d) de 300 km, velocidade (s) de 75 km/h

s=\frac{d}{t}\\ t=\frac{d}{s} =\frac{300}{75}=4h

tempo médio de ônibus entre Santos e Florianópolis = 6h + 4h = 10h
