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

A plastic film moves over two drums. During a 4-s interval the speed of the tape is increased uniformly from v0 = 2ft/s to v1 =
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Question 1)

a) The speed of the drums is increased from 2 ft/s to 4 ft/s in 4 s. From the below kinematic equations the acceleration of the drums can be determined.

v_1 = v_0 + at \\4 = 2 + 4a\\a = 0.5~ft/s^2

This is the linear acceleration of the drums. Since the tape does not slip on the drums, by the rule of rolling without slipping,

v = \omega R\\a = \alpha R

where α is the angular acceleration.

In order to continue this question, the radius of the drums should be given.

Let us denote the radius of the drums as R, the angular acceleration of drum B is

α = 0.5/R.

b) The distance travelled by the drums can be found by the following kinematics formula:

v_1^2 = v_0^2 + 2ax\\4^2 = 2^2 + 2(0.5)x\\x = 12 ft

One revolution is equal to the circumference of the drum. So, total number of revolutions is

x / (2\pi R) = 6/(\pi R)

Question 2)

a) In a rocket propulsion question, the acceleration of the rocket can be found by the following formula:

a = \frac{dv}{dt} = -\frac{v_{fuel}}{m}\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{13000}{2600}25 = 125~ft/s^2

b) a = -\frac{v_{fuel}}{m}\frac{dm}{dt} = - \frac{13000}{400}25 = 812.5~ft/s^2

Often times we think about insulation, we think about keeping cold items cold, such as drinks in an ice chest or the cool temper
Burka [1]

Answer:

So, insulation essentially works by creating a sort of barrier between the hot and the cold object. This barrier helps to reduce heat transfer by either reflecting the thermal radiation or by decreasing thermal conduction and convection from one object to the other.

A coal train in Montana starts from rest and accelerates at 2.5m/s^2 for 15 s.
bearhunter [10]

Complete Question

A coal train in Montana starts from rest and accelerates at 2.5m/s^2 for 15 Find the trains maximum velocity

Answer:

The maximum velocity is   v =  37.5 \ m/s  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The acceleration is a =2.5\ m/s^2

   The time for the acceleration is t = 15 \  s

Generally from the kinematics equation

   v =  u  +  at  

here u  is the initial  velocity and the value  is  0 m/s  given that it started rom rest

     v =  0  +  2.5  *  15  

     v =  37.5 \ m/s

A motion sensor emits sound, and detects an echo 0.0115 s after. A short time later, it again emits a sound, and hears an echo a
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

1.17 m

Explanation:

From the question,

s₁ = vt₁/2................ Equation 1

Where s₁ = distance of the reflecting object for the first echo, v = speed of the sound in air, t₁ = time to dectect the first echo.

Given: v = 343 m/s, t = 0.0115 s

Substitute into equation 1

s₁ = (343×0.0115)/2

s₁ = 1.97 m.

Similarly,

s₂ = vt₂/2.................. Equation 2

Where s₂ = distance of the reflecting object for the second echo, t₂ = Time taken to detect the second echo

Given: v = 343 m/s, t₂ = 0.0183 s

Substitute into equation 2

s₂ = (343×0.0183)/2

s₂ = 3.14 m

The distance moved by the reflecting object from s₁ to s₂ = s₂-s₁

s₂-s₁ =  (3.14-1.97) m = 1.17 m

What is the average acceleration? Please show work!
nignag [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Average acceleration

= (final velocity - initial velocity) /time

= (50-0)km/h /30 s

= 50 * 1000 / 3600 m/s /s

= 13.89 m/s^2
