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 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.


A horizontal force of 40 newtons will just start a 600 newton empty sled moving across packed snow what is the coefficients of static and kinetic friction?

static friction= normal contact force*coefficient of static friction 40 = (600*9.8) * CSF CSF=40/(600*9.8) (you can calculate that yourself, i cant be bothered) there isn't enough info to work out the coefficient of kinetic friction


What is the definition of kinetic?

Friction generated between two dry surfaces in contact during motion. Kinetic frictionis a product of the coefficient of kinetic friction and the normal reaction force. It assumes a constant value regardless of the amount of applied force or the speed of the motion. Its value is always less than the limiting friction between the same two surfaces.


Is coefficient of friction or coefficient of limiting friction are same?

Limiting friction is just the maximum static friction force (if you go over that point static friction becomes kinetic friction).Let f = frictional force,c = coefficient of frictionN = Normal forcefmax = cN = limiting frictionAlthough the term coefficient of limiting friction is not really used, I'd assume it would just be "c" (it's a coefficient after all). So they would be the same.If you meant is coefficient of friction the same as limiting friction, than the answer is no. Coefficient of friction is just the "c" in the equation. Limiting friction however is the product of the coefficient and the normal force.

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.

Case 2: A truck is travelling at a constant speed up a hill with a normal force of 1360N. The Force of the Kinetic friction acting on the truck is 266N. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the road? N = 1360N, Fk = 266N Step 1: Substitute the values in the below Kinetic Friction Coefficient formula: This example will guide you to calculate the Kinetic Friction Coefficient manually.
