If the applied force F on a block is increased gradually by adding more weights what happens to friction?
It increases.
What happens to the static friction force as the mass is increased?
A force is a force, and independent of whatever it is is being applied to. One can discuss inertial, gravitational, or a frictional forces, and these things increase proportionally with mass increases.
How does the coefficient of friction depend upon the normal force between the surfaces in contact?
-- The friction force changes, and is directly proportional to the normal force. -- The coefficient of friction doesn't change. It is the proportionality constant in the first statement.
What friction that prevents an object from moving when force is applied?
Static Friction.
What is friction what are four types of friction?
Friction is most commonly known as any push or pull. There are four types of friction ; sliding friction, static friction, rolling friction, and fluid friction. Sliding friction is when something is sliding against another surface. Static friction is when there is force being applied upon a heavy object or the object is being moved on a rough surface. Rolling friction is when something is rolling on a surface and friction slows it down. Finally, fluid friction is when an object is being slown down on or in water, air, or any others fluid.
When is static friction applied?
Static friction is not necessarily an applied force, but something that occurs when there is an applied force. Static friction occurs when there is no motion and there is a force being applied to an object on a surface.

A force is a force, and independent of whatever it is is being applied to. One can discuss inertial, gravitational, or a frictional forces, and these things increase proportionally with mass increases.
What forces occur when something slides?
Sliding friction, (possibly) applied force, gravity, and normal force.
What friction prevents an object from moving when a force is applied?
The friction produced that stops an object moving when force is applied is 'static friction'.
Is friction and static the same?
Limiting friction is the case of static friction where an object is right on the edge of moving, any more force applied to the object will cause it to move. Limiting friction is the largest value that the static friction can take
How does the coefficient of friction depend upon the normal force between the surfaces in contact?
-- The friction force changes, and is directly proportional to the normal force. -- The coefficient of friction doesn't change. It is the proportionality constant in the first statement.
Is there a force that can go against friction?
No. Friction can only slow an object down. If friction were imparting a force greater than that of the applied forces, then friction in and of itself would actually be causing the object to move, which does not happen.

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.
When is friction applied?
Friction is applied when a force occurs on two surfaces that are in contact with each other. There are many types of friction like fluid friction, static friction, rolling friction, and sliding friction. I am guessing this is a homework question. Aren't I right? Cool chick - OVER n OUT
