<span>Materialism claims that reality consist of physical objects and their components. 
</span>Determinism<span> is the philosophical </span>position<span> that for every event there exist conditions that could cause no other event.</span>
It is is the believe that all actions and events are determined and will happen necessarily.  But, If things are physical that does not mean they are determined.

Suppose you push horizontally with precisely enough force to make the block start to move, and you continue to apply the same am
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Incomplete question,

This is the complete question

Suppose you push horizontally with precisely enough force to make the block start to move, and you continue to apply the same amount of force even after it starts moving. Find the acceleration ~a of the block after it begins to move. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables µs, µk, and m, as well as the acceleration due to gravity g.

Explanation:

Let the force that make the object to start moving be F,

Frictional force is opposing the motion, the body has to overcome two frictional forces acting in the opposite direction of the motion.

Also, weight and normal reaction are acting in vertical direction, the weight is acting downward while the reaction is acting upward.

Weight of the object is given as

W=mg

Analyzing the vertical motion i.e y-axis.

ΣF = ma

since the body is not moving upward, the a=0

N-W=0

Then, N=W

So, N=mg

So, from friction law

Fr=µN

For static

Fs=µsN

For kinetic or dynamic

Fk= µkN

Using newton law

Along x-axis

Before the body start moving we can get the Force and since the force is the same use to start the block in motion.

Then,

ΣF = ma

Since at static the body is not moving then, a=0

F-Fs=0

F=Fs

Since, Fs=µsN

F=Fs=µsN

Then, the force to keep the body in motion too is F=µsN

Now analyses when the body is in motion

ΣF = ma

F-Fk=ma

ma=F - Fk

Substituting F=µsN and Fk=µkN

ma=µsN - µkN

ma=N(µs - µk)

Since N=mg

Then, ma=mg(µs - µk)

m cancels out, then

a=g(µs - µk)

Then the acceleration of the body is given as "a=g(µs - µk)"

Expain how a hurricane develops
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

A hurricane starts to form when warm air rises and then that warm air turns into cooler air. After a while of this happening large clouds and thunderstorms    are made. The clouds and thunderstorms keep growing and rotating from earth's Coriolis Effect. Then a hurricane forms.

What is the half-life of a compound if 75 percent of a given sample of the compound decomposes in 60 min? assume first-order kin
LenKa [72]
The amount left of a given substance can be calculated through the equation,
                                              A = (A0) x 0.5^n/h
From the given scenario, 
                                           A/A0 = 0.75 = 0.5*(60/h)
The value of h from the equation is 144.565 minutes.
