A 7.5­kg block is sliding down a wall with constant velocity. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall

is μ s = 0.70. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the wall is μ k = 0.40. What is the magnitude of the force (in N) pressing the block against the wall? Use g = 9.79 m/s2

Ok, a couple of things have to be accounted for here.  First, since the block is moving relative to the wall we have to use the kinetic coefficient of friction, 0.40.  The second consideration is that since the block is moving at a constant velocity, the acceleration is zero.  This means, by Newton's second Law, that the net force is zero.  So the force of gravity must be equal to the friction force of the wall resisting its fall. This friction force is the product of the normal force (which we are seeking) and the kinetic coefficient of friction. We can then set these two forces equal:

F_{gravity}=mg \\  \\ F_{friction}=F_{norm} \mu_k \\  \\ mg=F_{norm} \mu_k \\  \\ F_{norm}= \frac{mg}{ \mu_k} \\  \\  F_{norm}= \frac{7.5(9.79)}{0.4}=183.6N

In order to calculate the unknown reaction force, we need to know that the sum of forces pointing down is equal the sum of the forces pointing up, so all forces will be in equilibrium.

So we have:

\begin{gathered} 17800+150000+13200=121000+x \\ 181000=121000+x \\ x=181000-121000 \\ x=60000 \end{gathered}

If it takes light 26,000 years to travel from the Sun to the center of the Milky Way galaxy, how far is the Sun from the center
worty [1.4K]
Since the light travels in the vacuum then its velocity will be C=3*10^8 m/sec.....then you will convert it to secs=28000*365*24*60*60=8.83008*10^11
then v=s/t then s=v*t=(3*10^8)(8.83008*10^11)=2.649024*10^20 meters

Two balls with equal masses, m, and equal speed, v, engage in a head on elastic collision. what is the final velocity of each ba
Allushta [10]
The collision is elastic. This means that both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved after the collision.

- Let's start with conservation of momentum. The initial momentum of the total system is the sum of the momenta of the two balls, but we should put a negative sign in front of the velocity of the second ball, because it travels in the opposite direction of ball 1. So ball 1 has mass m and speed v, while ball 2 has mass m and speed -v:
p_i = p_1-p_2 = mv-mv =0
So, the final momentum must be zero as well:
p_f = 0
Calling v1 and v2 the velocities of the two balls after the collision, the final momentum can be written as
p_f = mv_1 + mv_2 = 0
From which
v_1 = -v_2

- So now let's apply conservation of kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of each ball is \frac{1}{2} mv^2. Therefore, the total kinetic energy before the collision is
K_i = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 +  \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mv^2
the kinetic energy after the collision must be conserved, and therefore must be equal to this value:
K_f = K_i = mv^2 (1)
But the final kinetic energy, Kf, is also
K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv_1^2 +  \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2
Substituting v_1 = -v_2 as we found in the conservation of momentum, this becomes
K_f = mv_2 ^2
we also said that Kf must be equal to the initial kinetic energy (1), therefore we can write 
mv_2^2 = mv^2

Therefore, the two final speeds of the balls are
v_2 = v
v_1 = -v_2 = -v

This means that after the collision, the two balls have same velocity v, but they go in the opposite direction with respect to their original direction.
