Why does the friction force stay the same when the applied force is increasing?

When we increase the applied force (push harder), the frictional force will also increase until it reaches a maximum value. When the applied force is larger than the maximum force of static friction the object will move. ... For kinetic friction the value remains the same regardless of the magnitude of the applied force.

a charge 3q is at the origin, and a charge −2q is on the positive x axis at x=a. part a where on the x-axis would you place a third charge so it would experience no net electric force? enter an expression for the exact answer, which will involve a square-root sign. (do not enter an approximate decimal answer.)
