Yes
Friction=Reaction force x COF
Reaction force = mass x gravity
So
Friction=mass x gravity x COF

Change the mass, change the friction

What are factors that affect an object's kinetic energy?
The factors affecting kinetic energy are mass and velocity.
What effect does the mass of an object have on acceleration or deceleration of an object when an unbalanced force acts on it?
this is a tricky 1 because the mass itself does not affect it, but rather the friction of the plane it is moving on and the momentum (which does factor in mass) if no friction exists, then it is purely the momentum. momentum = mass x velocity
How does air resistance affect the acceleration of a falling object-How does air resistance affect the acceleration of a falling object?
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
How does friction affect the net force on an object?
Friction usually reduces the net force and the resulting acceleration.
How does friction affect the law of inertia?
Friction has no effect whatsoever on the law. But if friction is present, then the law can't be demonstrated, because the moving object always has an external force acting on it.
How does gravity friction and mass affect the motion of an object?
Sin no
How does friction affect interia?
Friction does not affect inertia, but it affects momentum. Momentum is the product of the mass of an object and its speed. Friction forces, if present, will always act to decrease the momentum of a moving object.
What are factors that affect an object's kinetic energy?
The factors affecting kinetic energy are mass and velocity.
What two factors affect the motion of an object sliding downhill?
Mass (gravity) & friction!

How does the weight of an object affect friction?
The frictional force(f) = μ *mg for horizontal motion, where μ = coefficient of friction, m = mass of the object, g = acceleration due to gravity. Hence friction depends upon the weight of the object.
Factors that affect the amount of friction?
1.nature of the substance and the surface (roughness or smoothness). 2.mass of the object.
Does mass effect friction?
mass effects friction by making the object go slower as mass increases
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 are the two factors that determine frictional force?
two variables are : the surface type and the mass of the object. So the more mass an object has the less friction it has. The less mass an object has, the more fiction it has.
Is friction affected by the amount of surface that is touching?
No: this is a common misconception Friction= Normal force* Coefficient of friction where Normal force= Mass* Acceleration due to gravity* Cos(angle of surface) and the coefficient of friction is an intrinsic property of the surface Therefore, only the mass of the object and the surface composition affect friction
Investigate-how friction increases with increase of size of an object?
The force of friction on an object is equal to the coefficient of friction times the force perpendicular to the surface (normal force). When the mass of an object increases, the normal force increases, and the force of friction also increases. However, because the equation does not involve surface area, increasing surface area has no affect on the force of friction.
