Answer;

The coefficient of friction

Explanation;

  • Friction is a force that opposes motion. Normal force on the other hand is a force that presses two surfaces together and is directed perpendicular to the contact surface; on a level surface. The magnitude of normal force is equal to the force of the object's weight but in the opposite direction.
  • The coefficient of friction shows the relationship between the force of friction between tow objects and the normal force between those objects.
