Friction does depend on the types of surfaces involved and how hard the surfaces push together. Friction would be very minimal if the surfaces were smooth and not pushing together too hard.

What does sliding friction depend on?
sliding friction depends on......i really dnt kno da anser
Does coefficient of kinetic friction depend on weight?
Yes, It does not vary with lesser relative velocity between surfaces.But when the speed exceeds 10m/s ,due to heat produced between the surfaces the co-efficient increases.
What does the coefficient of kinetic friction depend on?
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 relationship between friction and surface area of tires unusual?
There is really nothing unusual here, but some people may be surprised when they first find out that the amount of friction between two surfaces doesn't depend on the surface area.
Does friction depend on the area in contact?
The force of friction does, but the coefficient of friction does not.
Does friction depend on the types of surfaces and how hard they push together?
yes it does it can be stronger and weaker depending on which two surfaces rub against each other

Amount of friction depend on two thing?
The amount of friction between two surfaces depends on more than two things. It could depend on many things like The shared surafce area The amount of force between the objects How rough or somooth the surfaces are The presence of a lubricant or glue Ball bearings Even temperature. Many things affect the amount of friction between things

Is force of friction correlated to force of gravity?
It depends. Two surfaces which are pressed together will show a frictional force resisting any sliding. If they are pressed together by gravity (e.g. such as for a book lying on a table), then the frictional force resisting a horizontal push will depend on the weight of the book, which depends on the force of gravity.

Does friction depend on the area in contact?
The force of friction does, but the coefficient of friction does not.
What will cause more friction a pencil or chalk writing?
of course
What does the force of friction between two objects in contact depend on?
The types of materials involved, any third party (like sand or grease), the surface finish of the two objects where they contact, the temperature of the interfacing surfaces, and the 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.
If friction isn't dependent on surface area but only on the coefficient of friction between two surfaces and the reaction force then why do racing cars use bigger tires with greater area?
Friction doesnt not depend on the surface area...but the force of friction does! We cannot change the friction of a material but we can change the force due to that friction on another material in contact with it. Using this concept, racing cars have bigger tires to minimise the force of friction acting on them. They cannot change the friction of the road, so they change the resultant force on the tires.
