The coefficient of friction is a scalar value with no dimension. It is simply a ratio of the force of friction between two objects, to the force pressing those objects together (often the normal force). Slippery surfaces have lower coefficient of friction than rough surfaces.

What is the force that keeps you from sliding on an icy sidewalk kinetic friction static friction?
coefficient kinetic
What is the formula for the coefficient of kinetic friction?
Ukn
Which coefficient of friction is greater static or kinetic?
static usully greater then kinetic
Does friction depend on the area in contact?
The force of friction does, but the coefficient of friction does not.
What is the coefficient of kinetic energy?
The coefficient of kinetic energy is a constant for friction acting as a retarding or dissipative force to calculate the total force on the object. The coefficient of friction u is represented in equation by the relation F = u*N, where N is the normal force.
What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between aluminun and felt?
The coefficient of kinetic friction between wool felt and aluminum is about 0.24 to 0.26.

Does friction depend on the area in contact?
The force of friction does, but the coefficient of friction does not.
What is coeffitient of stactic n kinetic friction?
The coefficient of static or kinetic friction depends on the surfaces that are causing friction. The formula for it is: force of friction over normal force.
Does the coefficient of kinetic friction depend on the weight of the block?
No, It does not depends on weight of block because this weight of block is being balanced by normal force. So by increasing weight of block, there is no effect on coefficient of friction.
What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between aluminum and cork?
0.35, approximately
What is the coefficient of kinetic energy?
The coefficient of kinetic energy is a constant for friction acting as a retarding or dissipative force to calculate the total force on the object. The coefficient of friction u is represented in equation by the relation F = u*N, where N is the normal force.
When the block of mass is increased is there an increase in the value of coefficient of kinetic friction?
No, coefficient of friction is dependent on the materials in contact, not their mass. However the FORCE of friction will increase as the mass increases in this case.
What is more sliding friction or static friction?
static friction is higher in most cases, if you're talking about the coefficient of static or kinetic friction
How does the coefficient of static friction for two surfaces in contact compare to the coefficient of kinetic friction for the same two surfaces?
The coefficient of static friction is always larger because it takes more initial force to move an object that is at rest.
