Yes.

This would just mean the force of friction could be greater than the normal force.

Also, keep in mind that the static coefficients are greater than or equal to the kinetic coefficients for the same two surfaces.

Some surfaces with higher than 1 static friction coefficients include:

  • Platinum on platinum (1.2)
  • Cast iron on cast iron (1.1)
  • Silver on silver (1.4)
  • Rubber on various surfaces

Note that it's just that most surfaces have a both coefficients below 1. Inclusion of Rubber in the list above gives us the clue that it's all about being "sticky" or "slippery"!

If your pulling 30 lb tire on a lawn what is the estimated weight youre actually pulling because of friction?

the equation for static friction coefficient is:static friction coefficient = force required to break bond / weight of object (tire)you need the friction coefficient between rubber and grass, say its 0.5, this means the force you have to apply to equal the friction force is:0.5 = x / 30x = 0.5 * 30x = 15 lbs fanything greater than 15 lbs f will break the bond and accelerate the tire.notes :1 / moving friction coefficient is usually less than static friction coefficient, so youve less drag once its moving.2 / friction coefficients are never greater than 1.0actually , some friction coefficients do exceed 1.0 , see google / friction coefficients table

What does the coefficient of kinetic friction depend on?

The coefficient of friction is a scalar value with no dimension. It is simply a ratio of the force of friction between two objects, to the force pressing those objects together (often the normal force). Slippery surfaces have lower coefficient of friction than rough surfaces.

A hockey puck has a coefficient of kinetic friction of mk .1-. if the puck feels a normal force (fn) of 5N what is the frictional force that acts on the puck?

This type of problems about friction are extremely simple: You just multiply the normal force by the coefficient of friction to get the frictional force.

What is the SI unit for Friction?

[Simple Explanation]As friction is a force and the S.I. unit of force is Newton,the S.I. unit of friction is Newton.[Derivative Explanation]F=µN,where F is Frictional force,µ is coefficient of friction,and N is net normal reaction.N = -mgwhere mg is gravitational force whose SI unit is Newton.-(1)Coefficient of friction is dimensionless. -(2)From (1) and (2), SI unit of F = SI unit of N x SI unit of µ = NewtonHence SI of Friction is Newton.


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.
