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

What law states force is dependent on the mass and acceleration of an object
UNO [17]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion can be stated  

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

in another form,

Force = mass * acceleration

A stationary 90 kg baseball pitcher throws a 0.15 kg baseball forward
Marina CMI [18]

Answer: momentum = 6kgm/s

Explanation:

given that the baseball pitcher is at stationary position, his velocity will be equal to zero. If velocity is zero, his linear momentum will therefore equal to zero.

Linear momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Given that the baseball has

Mass M = 0.15 kg

Velocity V = 40 m/s

Momentum = MV

Momentum = 0.15 × 40 = 6 kgm/s
