The types of materials involved, any third party (like sand or grease), the surface finish of the two objects where they contact, the temperature of the interfacing surfaces, and the normal force.

Amount of friction depend on two thing?
The amount of friction between two surfaces depends on more than two things. It could depend on many things like The shared surafce area The amount of force between the objects How rough or somooth the surfaces are The presence of a lubricant or glue Ball bearings Even temperature. Many things affect the amount of friction between things
Does the coefficient of sliding friction depend on the kinds of materials in contact?
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)
Gravity depends on how far -------- andhow -------- the objects are?
Gravity can depend on how far apart and how heavy the objects are.
Why would friction affect gravity?
Gravitational acceleration is a constant value for a celestial body, and doesn't depend on air resistance/friction. The value on Earth is constant anywhere on Earth, just like the value on Mars is constant anywhere on Mars. In practical,however, this is different. Air resistance lowers the value of gravitational acceleration.
Is the greater an objects mass the stronger the gravitational force on it?
Yes, force is the gravitational acceleration multiplied by the mass of that object. Should the gravitational acceleration increase (as on a different planet) or should the object's mass increase, the gravitational force on the object will as well.
Does friction depend on the area in contact?
The force of friction does, but the coefficient of friction does not.
What does gravity depend on between objects?
The mass of the objects and the distance between them.
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.

What are the characteristics oc non contact forces?
Characteristics of Non-Contact Force:a)Are equal and opposite.b)Depend upon the distance between the two objects.c)Depend upon the medium between the two objects for electrical and magnetic forcesbut not gravitational forces.By Khan.shariq3@facebook.com
What two things do the amount of gravitational pull between two objects depend on?
The mass of the objects and the distance between the objects.
Will frictional force depends on mass and density?
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 2 things that the amount of gravitational force between 2 objects depend on?
The masses of the objects and the distance between them.
Does the frictional force depend on the type of surface in contact?
Yes. Different substances have a different coefficient of friction.
Is friction independent of the area of contact?
Generally no. The friction force is typically assumed independent of surface area, and proportional to the force between the two objects. By changing the contact area, you are changing how that force is concentrated. i.e. a small surface area means that your force is distributed across a small region, creating a high pressure (force/area) at the contact. By increasing the surface area, you distrubte that force and lower the pressure. This is, however, an idealization and can break down in some instances.
What does the strength of gravity depend on between two objects?
The product of the masses of the two objects, and the distance between them.
How does the coefficient of friction depend upon the normal force between the surfaces in contact?
-- The friction force changes, and is directly proportional to the normal force. -- The coefficient of friction doesn't change. It is the proportionality constant in the first statement.
