Answer:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, we expect (in theory) an increase in friction when the normal force is increased.

One more thing, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force

Answer:

The Enlightenment.

Explanation:

The Enlightenment took place during the eighteen century and it typically involved a period of philosophical, cultural and intellectual movement in which ideas on nature, reason, humanity and God were emphasized on greatly over science and superstition through meetings that were held at coffeeshops, scientific academies, literary salons, masonic lodges, etc. Some of the influential philosophers of the enlightenment were Adam Smith, John Locke, Jean Jacques Rousseau, David Hume, Baruch Spinoza, Montesquieu, Hugo Grotius, Denis Diderot, Gottfried Wilhelm, Cesare Beccaria, Immanuel Kant etc. The enlightenment was also known as the age of reason or the age of enlightenment.

Hence, the enlightenment was a period in European history when many educated people stressed the importance of learning and reasoning; education was considered the key to understanding and solving society's problems.

What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction when light passes from a medium where its sp

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

This is because the speed of a wave is determined by the medium through which it is passing. When light speeds up as it passes from one material to another, the angle of refraction is bigger than the angle of incidence. For example, this happens when light passes from water to air or from glass to water ❤

A charge of 7.00 mC is placed at opposite corners corner of a square 0.100 m on a side and a charge of -7.00 mC is placed at oth

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

4.03\times10^{7}N[/tex], 135°

Explanation:

charge, q = 7 mC = 0.007 C

charge, - q = - 7 mC = - 0.007 C

d = 0.1 m

Let the force on charge placed at C due to charge placed at D is FD.

$F_{D}=\frac{kq^{2}}{DC^{2}}$
