On a flat surface the coefficient of friction is a ratio between and the weight of the object?
The force of friction!
What is the function of coefficient of static friction?
This coefficient of static friction is needed to find the frictional force between a body and a surface on which body has to move. If u (mu) is the coefficient of friction then uR gives the frictional force between moving body and surface. There is no unit for coefficient of friction. Here R is reaction which equals to the weight of the body
What factors determine the coefficient of friction?
quality of the Surface is affected to the Coefficient of friction
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.
What happens to coefficient of friction when weight of body is doubled?
it will remain same as it depends only on the surface which is in contact and does not depends on force so it remain same

What is the effect on coefficient of static friction when side length of a cube of 5 cm is doubled to original?
The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.

Yes. Weight, being a force perpendicular to the surface, affects the magnitude of the friction, but not the friction coefficient.
Does the surface area of an object affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface?
No, it doesn't, the only important thing is the force perpendicular to the surface (weight) and friction coefficient.
What happens to coefficient of friction when weight of body is doubled?
it will remain same as it depends only on the surface which is in contact and does not depends on force so it remain same
How does the roughness of surfaces that are toughing affect the friction between the surfaces?
The rougher a surface is, the higher the coefficient of static and kinetic friction will be.
What 2 factors determine the strength of the friction between 2 surfaces?
On a flat surface it would be the friction coefficient and the weigh of body.
How do you decrease friction between two surface?
1. Decrease the Force between the two Surfaces. 2. Lubricate the Surfaces, thus lowering the Coefficient of Friction between them.
What happened to the coefficients of friction as the surface area of the contact increased?
As the coefficient of friction is not function of the area or not related to the area of the contact surface so the coefficient of friction remains constant on the increase of the contact area. The coefficient of friction depends upon the material of the friction surfaces only.
