Scientists are not completely sure what causes friction; however, it is thought to be caused by the interactions between the tiny bumps on surfaces as they rub against each other. The bumps on each surface bend and exert a force on each other making it hard for the surfaces to slip over each other.

Does the coefficient of sliding friction depend on the kinds of materials in contact?

Absolutely! The determination of any kind of friction, kinetic friction (what you call sliding friction, once an object is in motion) OR static friction (the friction it takes to start motion) is determined by the type of materials used. It really depends on the temporary molecular bonds formed between the molecules of the material. The more bonds can form, the less easily something will move (thus the more friction it has)

How is a blackhole formed in our universe?

A blackhole is formed in our universe when matter falls onto the black hole and that forms an accretion disk that is heated by friction. The black hole does not allow anything to escape it.

What do you mean by friction?

When two surfaces rub against each other, friction is formed. It is the force resisting the relative motion between fluid layers, solid surfaces and material elements that are sliding against each other.
