Materialism claims that reality consist of physical objects and their components.
Determinism is the philosophical position that for every event there exist conditions that could cause no other event.
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.

A 500 kg dragster accelerates from rest to a final speed of 100 m/s in 400 m (about a quarter of a mile) and encounters an avera

Fantom [35]

In order to accelerate the dragster at a speed $v_f = 100 m/s$ , its engine must do a work equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the dragster. Since it starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero, so the work done by the engine to accelerate the dragster to 100 m/s is
$W= K_f - K_i = K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J$

however, we must take into account also the fact that there is a frictional force doing work against the dragster, and the work done by the frictional force is:
$W_f = F_f d = -(1200 N)(400 m)= -4.8 \cdot 10^5 J$
and the sign is negative because the frictional force acts against the direction of motion of the dragster.

This means that the total work done by the dragster engine is equal to the work done to accelerate the dragster plus the energy lost because of the frictional force, which is $-W_f$ :
$W_t = W + (-W_f)=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J+4.8 \cdot 10^5 J=2.98 \cdot 10^6 J$

So, the power delivered by the engine is the total work divided by the time, t=7.30 s:
$P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{2.98 \cdot 10^6 J}{7.30 s}=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W$

And since 1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, we can rewrite the power as
$P=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W \cdot \frac{1 hp}{746 W} =547 hp$

Manny walked a total of 3 miles. The reference point used to calculate the total distance that he walked was the same as the end

yawa3891 [41]

Correct question:

Manny walked a total of 3 miles. The reference point used to calculate the total distance that he walked was the same as the ending point. Which describes where Manny most likely walked?

a. from the bottom of a hill to the top

b. on a circular nature trail

c. on a sidewalk from his house to the mall

d. from the beginning of a straight track to the end

Answer:

b. on a circular nature trail

Explanation:

As it is mentioned that Manny that his reference point from where she started is same as ending point meaning that she moved in a circular path making point B correct answer.

If the volume of one drop is 0.031 mL according to Stu Dent’s measurement, approximately what volume would 22 drops be? Answer w

olasank [31]

Answer:

Volume of 22 drop will be 0.68 ml

Explanation:

We have given volume of one drop = 0.031 ml

We know that 1 liter = 1000 ml

So $1ml=10^{-3}L$
