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

On a flat surface the coefficient of friction is a ratio between and the weight of the object?
The force of friction!
The amount of friction divided by the weight of an object forms a unitless number called the of friction?
I think it is 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 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 does a coefficient of friction of 1.0 or greater mean?
It means that the maximum force of friction is greater than the weight of the object.
Does the coefficient of kinetic friction depend on the weight of the block?
No, It does not depends on weight of block because this weight of block is being balanced by normal force. So by increasing weight of block, there is no effect on coefficient of friction.

What is the amount of friction divided by the weight of an object forms a unitless number called the blank of friction?
coefficient

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.

What does a coefficient of friction of 1.0 or greater mean?
It means that the maximum force of friction is greater than the weight of the object.
A sled of mass 50kg is pulled along snowcovered flat ground the static friction coefficient is 0.30 and the sliding friction coefficient is 0.10?
Just multiply the weight by each coefficient, add them together and multiply by 9.8
What does the coefficient of static friction represent?
In free space or on a frictionless surface, it takes no force to move something. Where there is friction, the ratio of (force necessary to start it moving horizontally)/(the object's weight) is the coefficient of static friction on the horizontal surface.
What kind of friction requires more force to overcome rollingfriction or sliding friction?
Coefficient of rolling friction will always be less than that of sliding friction. Hence more force is required to overcome sliding friction. Because the force = coefficient of friction x normal force (ie weight of the body)
What does the slope of a friction vs weight graph mean?
the slope is the coefficient of friction. look at the equation of the graph as apply it to any of the friction problems your teacher gave you.
