Does the coefficient of sliding friction depend on the kinds of materials in contact?
Kmonaghan268
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 blank number that represents the resistance to sliding between two blank in contact with one another?
Unitless, surfaces
The is a number that represents the resistance to sliding between two surfaces in contact with one another?
The friction is a number that represents the resistance to sliding between two surfaces in contact with one another. It is measured in Newtons (N).
What materials can prevent friction and which one can increase it?
high friction materials can prevent sliding under high loads or steeps incline.insome situations,adding a libricant actually increases the friction, due to molecular effect.
What are the 3 kinds of friction describe each?
sliding friction is like sliding a desk without wheels across a floor since its sliding and if there a large amount of weight involved it will be harter to over come the friction , rooling friction is like a skateboard rooling down the street for rooling friction the object NEEDS to have wheels or it wouldn't be rooling friction,and fluid friction is like droping a ball through air since air has water particles and counts for fluid friction.
What kind of friction shown in a pushed chair?
Escherichia coli , salmonella, Staphylococcus
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.
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.
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.
The coefficient of friction is a blank number that represents the resistance to sliding between two blank in contact with one another?
Unitless, surfaces
What is the difference between static friction and sliding friction?
Sliding friction is always less than the static friction by small amount.
What is the force that keeps you from sliding on an icy sidewalk kinetic friction static friction?
coefficient kinetic
The is a number that represents the resistance to sliding between two surfaces in contact with one another?
The friction is a number that represents the resistance to sliding between two surfaces in contact with one another. It is measured in Newtons (N).
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 are the causes of sliding friction?
For example the cause of sliding friction of two materials is when the stress between the Materials is not equal to zero
What value of the coefficient of friction the greater the resistance to sliding?
higher
