If you pull horizontally on a desk with a force of 150 N and the desk doesn't move, the friction force must be 150 N. Now if you pull with 280 N so the desk slides at constant velocity, the friction force is
280 N

35,000 N
A 10-N falling object encounters 4 N of air resistance. The magnitude of the net force on the object is
6 N
An object has a constant mass. A constant force on the object produces constant
acceleration
Suppose a particle is accelerated through space by a constant 10-N force. Suddenly the particle encounters a second force of 10-N in a direction opposite to that of the first force. The particle
continues at the speed it had when it encountered the second force
As a care package falls from a highflying stationary helicopter, its velocity increases and its acceleration
decreases
When the angle of an incline with a block resting on it increases, the normal support force
decreases
A block is at rest on an incline. The force of friction necessary to prevent the block from sliding increases when the incline angle is
increased
How does acceleration of an object change in relation to its mass? It is
inversely proportional
The acceleration produced by a net force on an object is
inversely proportional to the mass of the object, directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, and in the same direction as the net force
If the force acting on a cart doubles, what happens to the cart's acceleration?
it doubles
Suppose a cart is being moved by a force. If suddenly a load is dumped into the cart so that the cart's mass doubles, what happens to the cart's acceleration?
it halves
A rock is thrown vertically into the air. At the very top of its trajectory, the net force is
its weight
The reason a tennis ball and a solid steel ball will accelerate at the same time in the absence of air resistance is that
the ball with the larger force also has the larger mass

A force of 5 N accelerates a mass of 5 kg at the rate of 1 m/s^2. The acceleration of a mass of 10 kg acted upon by a force of 10 N is
the same

A tennis ball and a solid steel ball with the same diameter are dropped at the same time. In the absence of air resistance, which ball has the greater acceleration?
they both have the same acceleration
