I think you are asking whether friction is proportionalto weight in which case the answer is yes In other words if you double the weight you double the friction or halve the weight to halve the friction.

What is required to get a stationary object moving?
An outside force is needed. If friction comes into play (which it likely will), the magnitude of the applied force must be greater than the force of friction acting upon the object in order for the object to move. FYI, the force of friction is equal to the coefficient of static friction times the normal force (equal to the weight of the object).
How friction increases with weight?
yes, this is true when anyone increases our weight then no-one can't control oureself .( friction *weight).& increase the force .force is (torque*weight).hence friction increase with weight.
Does friction cause more energy to be wasted if the object is heavier Why?
Friction between two objects = C X N. where C is the coeffiecient of friction for the objects in question, and N is the 'Normal' force. The normal force is the force equal and opposite to the object's weight. Therefore, if you increase the object's weight, the friction force increases, and the amount of energy wasted increases.
What can effect the amount of frictions between two objects?
The two factors are the coeffiecient of friction, and the 'normal' force, which is equal and opposite to the weight of the object. The coefficient of friction is diffeerent for different objects. Friction force = Coeff. X Normal Force
Is angle of friction equal to angle of repose?
yes, angle of friction is equal to angle of repose.
How does weight and mass affect friction?
Well weight and mass are proportional... But mass affects friction because the higher your mass the higher your friction.
What is the difference between friction and weight?
Friction is a force that stops almost every object so if there is more weight it is harder for the friction to stop the given object
The amount of friction divided by the weight of an object forms a unitless number called the ... of friction?
coefficientThe amount of friction divided by the weight of an object forms a dimensionless number called the coefficient of friction.
Does an objects weight affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface?
Yes. Double the weight and double the friction.
What are two forces that are not equal in size?
friction Also we can mention the forces acting on a sinking body in a liquid. The weight is more than the buoyant force
What two forces that are not equal in size are?
friction Also we can mention the forces acting on a sinking body in a liquid. The weight is more than the buoyant force
Is it true that weight affects the amount of friction between the object and a surface?
Yes. Weight, being a force perpendicular to the surface, affects the magnitude of the friction, but not the friction coefficient.
