Absolutely!

The determination of any kind of friction, kinetic friction (what you call sliding friction, once an object is in motion) OR static friction (the friction it takes to start motion) is determined by the type of materials used. It really depends on the temporary molecular bonds formed between the molecules of the material. The more bonds can form, the less easily something will move (thus the more friction it has)

The coefficient of friction is a number that represents the resistance to sliding between two in contact with one anot?

The coefficient of friction is a dimensionless number that quantifies the amount of resistance between two surfaces in contact with each other. It is determined experimentally and varies depending on the materials and surface conditions of the objects in contact. A higher coefficient of friction indicates greater resistance to sliding or movement.


The the value of the coefficient of friction the greater the resistance to sliding.?

higher


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.


Can you stop friction?

You can reduce it to a point it is not noticeable but can not eliminate it altogether. You can reduce friction through use of materials with lower coefficient of friction like PTFE or by changing the way the materials contact, say change a sliding one to a rotating one.


What are the factors that determine the friction force between two sliding objects?

The factors that determine the friction force between two sliding objects are the nature of the materials in contact, the normal force pressing the objects together, the surface roughness, and the presence of any lubricants between the surfaces. The coefficient of friction between the materials also plays a significant role in determining the friction force.


What is the blank the value of the the coefficient of friction the greater the resistance to sliding?

The coefficient of friction represents the resistance to sliding between two surfaces. A higher coefficient of friction indicates greater resistance to sliding, while a lower coefficient of friction indicates less resistance.


The lower the value of the coefficient of friction. the blank the resistance to sliding?

The lower the value of the coefficient of friction, the lower the resistance to sliding.


The coefficient of friction is a blank number that represents the resistance to sliding between two blank in contact with one another?

Unitless, surfaces


Why sliding friction greater than rolling friction and if the area of contact is same?

The FORCE of Friction is INDEPENDENT of Surface Area. Only the 'Coefficient of Friction', and the Force between the two Surfaces. Sliding Friction is greater than Rolling Friction ONLY if the Coefficient of Friction is GREATER for the Sliding Surfaces.


What is the angle of friction?

The angle of friction is the angle at which a body will start sliding on a surface. It is equal to the arctangent of the coefficient of static friction between the two surfaces in contact.


What value of the coefficient of friction the greater the resistance to sliding?

The greater the coefficient of friction between two surfaces, the greater the resistance to sliding between them. The coefficient of friction is a measure of the amount of friction between two surfaces, with higher values indicating a stronger resistance to sliding.


The lower the value of the coefficient of friction the what resistance to sliding?

The lower the value of the coefficient of friction, the lower the resistance to sliding. A lower coefficient of friction means less force is needed to overcome the resistance between two surfaces, making sliding easier.
