Answer:

the free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1.68 m/s^2

Explanation:

recall the formula for the gravitational potential energy (under acceleration of gravity "g"):

PE = m * g * h

replacing with our values for the problem:

46 J = 91 * g * 0.3

solve for the "g" on the Moon:

g = 46 / (91 * 0.3)

g = 1.68  m/s^2

Which one of the following is a decomposition reaction?
BabaBlast [244]
You would know a decomposition reaction occurred if the reactants separated. For example from AB → A+B.

Now if you look at your options only 1 works out for that equation. Letter A. 
From the compound K2CO3 it split up to K2O +CO2

It cannot be letter B because synthesis/combination occurred. The same goes for letter C. Letter D, single displacement occurred. 

Again, the answer is A.

Solve: A car travels 2 km North , 10 km East, then 3 km West. pythagorean theorem
Evgen [1.6K]

________b_____ 7 km east

|

| 2km north.

|a

|

°

pythagorean theorem : ✓a² + b² = c²

c² = a² + b² = 4 + 49 = 53

c = ✓53 km

displacement = c = ✓53 km

distance = 10 + 3 + 2 = 15 km
