The coefficients are 8 17 1 8

remember that we have to have the same amount of atoms on each side of the equation.
start with C there is 1 on the left and 8 on the right so 8 has to be on the CO. now there is an 8 now on the water there is 1 originally and now we need 8. from water there is now a total of 16 hydrogen plus the 18 from octane for a total of 34. the left has an H2. 34/2 = 17. that is where the 17 comes from

Two boats start together and race across a 48-km-wide lake and back. boat a goes across at 48 km/h and returns at 48 km/h. boat

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

Explanation:

Case 1: Boat 1

Speed of boat = $\frac{distance of river}{time}$

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

While going to another end

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{48}$

time = 1 hour

While going back,

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{48}$

time = 1 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 1 hour + 1 hour = 2 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 for the round trip is 2 hour.

Case 2: Boat 2

Speed of boat = $\frac{distance of river}{time}$

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

While going to another end

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{24}$

time = 2 hour

While going back,

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{72}$

time = 0.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour + 0.66 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 for the round trip is 2.66 hour.

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

A bus and a bicycle have a head-on collision. Compare the force of impact between the bus and the bicycle; compare the accelerat

kati45 [8]

The force of impact is same for both bus and the bicycle. The acceleration of bicycle will be greater than the acceleration of bus.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The interaction that occurs between two objects refers to collision. this makes the two objects to come in contact with each other. The third law of Newton states that, when there occurs a collision between two objects, then the force that is applied on each object will be same. But, the direct in which the force is impacted will be in opposite direction.

The magnitude of the forces will be equal but the direction will not be same. The collision results in gaining the momentum by one object and losing momentum by another. The acceleration is mainly associated with the mass of the object. When the object has smaller mass, it will be accelerated more. In the given example, as bus is heavier than bicycle, the bicycle will have greater acceleration than the bus.
