Answer:

0,2 would be the coefficient of friction.

Explanation:

Remember that the force necessary to move an object over a horizontal surface is the weight of the object multiplied by the coeficient of friction, an the formula is this:

Friction= u*N

Where u is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force, or in this case the weight of the object so if we solve for U the formula would be like this:

u=\frac{Friction}{N}

Now we just insert the data we know:

u=\frac{Friction}{N}\\u=\frac{5N}{25N}\\ u=0,2

So the coefficient of friction would be 0.2

Static friction is the friction that exists between two or more solids that are not moving with a relative speed. To calculate the static friction coefficient we use the formula Fs=us × n where Fs is the static friction , us is the coefficient of static friction and the n is the normal force.
thus the coefficient of static friction will be 5 N÷ 25 N =  0.2
Hence 0.2 is the coefficient of static friction

What is the bouncing of light when it changes media
matrenka [14]

When light passes from one medium to another, part of it continues on
into the new medium, while the rest of it bounces away from the boundary,
back into the first medium.

The part of the light that continues on into the new medium is <em>transmitted</em>
light.  Its forward progress at any point in its journey is <em>transmission</em>. 

Its direction usually changes as it crosses the boundary.  The bending is <em>
refraction</em>
.

The part of the light that bounces away from the boundary and heads back
into the first medium is <em>reflected</em> light.  The process of bouncing is <em>reflection</em>.
