The coefficient of friction is an empirical measurement and has to be measured experimentally, and cannot be found through calculations. Rougher surfaces tend to have higher effective values. Most dry materials in combination have friction coefficient values between 0.3 and 0.6. Values outside this range are rarer, but Teflon, for example, can have a coefficient as low as 0.04. Therefore, a value of zero would mean no friction at all, an ELUSIVE property even magnetic levitation vehicles have drag.

Can a coefficient of friction be equal to zero?
No , coefficient of friction can not be zero. if it is zero then there will be no frictional force between two bodies.And in our universe these types of object didnot exit.
What is the coefficient of friction of linoleum rubber?
You need two different materials to determine the coefficient of friction. Without another material you cannot know what the coefficient of friction is.
What is the lowest coefficient to friction?
It can never be exactly zero, but it is close to 0.
What factors determine the coefficient of friction?
quality of the Surface is affected to the Coefficient of friction
What the value of abs plastic static friction coefficient?
With what material? Coefficient of friction is for two materials.

Is the coefficient of friction up to 13 unit?
No. Coefficient of friction is not measured in units.
What are the two factors that affect the friction force between two surfaces?
The strength of the force of friction depends on the types of surfaces involved and on how hard the surfaces push together.
Is coefficient of friction or coefficient of limiting friction are same?
Limiting friction is just the maximum static friction force (if you go over that point static friction becomes kinetic friction).Let f = frictional force,c = coefficient of frictionN = Normal forcefmax = cN = limiting frictionAlthough the term coefficient of limiting friction is not really used, I'd assume it would just be "c" (it's a coefficient after all). So they would be the same.If you meant is coefficient of friction the same as limiting friction, than the answer is no. Coefficient of friction is just the "c" in the equation. Limiting friction however is the product of the coefficient and the normal force.
Do rubber tyres show more friction or less friction?
Rubber will have a high coefficient of friction on most surfaces, but we cannot know whether there is more or less friction unless we have something to compare it to.
What are the units that friction is measured in?
The coefficient of friction is dimensionless; it has no units.
What the value of abs plastic static friction coefficient?
With what material? Coefficient of friction is for two materials.
What are the units of the coefficient of friction?
The coefficient of friction is a scalar quantity which has no direction which does not have an angle.
What is coefficient of friction..?
A higher coefficient of friction indicates that two surfaces in contact have a greater resistence. A lower coefficient of friction indicates that the two surfaces in contact have less resistence. Soccer cleats on grass have a greater coefficient of friction than skates on ice.
