Frictional force depends on the contact force and on the coefficient of friction. The coefficient of friction depends on the types of materials in contact; the contact force may depend on mass, if it is caused by gravity.

What are the two factors that determine frictional force?
two variables are : the surface type and the mass of the object. So the more mass an object has the less friction it has. The less mass an object has, the more fiction it has.
What is drag in scientific terms?
Drag is a frictional force which opposes movement of a mass.
Density depends on mass?
Density depends on mass and volume of an object.
How do you find an objects acceleration from its mass and the force acting on it?
Acceleration= total force / mass. Total force might be applied force minus frictional force, or applied force minus air resistance etc.
Why do some objects move so fast and some move so slow?
The speed with which an object moves depends on its mass, any force applied on it (including frictional forces, which slow it down), and its previous history - i.e., if it has been moving before, it will have the tendency to continue moving, at least for a while, until frictional forces slow it down.
How do you find frictional force?
F=MA ........ Force=(Mass)(Acceleration)

What is the independent controlled and dependent variable of how mass effects the force of friction?
The independent variable is mass. The dependent variable is the frictional force.
How is the gravitational force on Mars different from that of Earthwhat causes the difference in the gravititional force?
The gravitational force on Mars (per unit mass) is less than the corresponding gravitational force on Earth. The strength of this so-called "gravitational field" depends on a planet's mass and its diameter: more mass --> more force; greater diameter (at the same mass) --> less force. You might also say that it depends on the planet's average density and its diameter. In this case, more density --> more force; greater diameter (at the same density) --> MORE force.
What is drag in scientific terms?
Drag is a frictional force which opposes movement of a mass.
Why is the upthrust not dependent on mass of liquid?
The buoyant force depends on the volume and density of the displaced liquid.
Why density is mass indipendent?
density depends on mass........
Density depends on mass?
Density depends on mass and volume of an object.
How do you find an objects acceleration from its mass and the force acting on it?
Acceleration= total force / mass. Total force might be applied force minus frictional force, or applied force minus air resistance etc.
What does density depend on?
The density of a material depends on the mass and the volume of that material. In order to find the density of a material you must multiple the mass of the material and the volume of the material.
How a force affects an object depends on an objects?
Force is directly proportional to the mass of the object which in turn depends on the density and volume of the object.It also matters whether the body is aldready at motion or not.
What is the unit of volume if mass and density are given?
The answer depends on the units in which the mass and density are given.
