Friction doesnt not depend on the surface area...but the force of friction does!
We cannot change the friction of a material but we can change the force due to that friction on another material in contact with it.
Using this concept, racing cars have bigger tires to minimise the force of friction acting on them. They cannot change the friction of the road, so they change the resultant force on the tires.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is coefficient of friction dependent on the size of the perpendicular force?
No. The coefficient depends only on the two surfaces which are in contact.
What is the coefficient of static friction between the two surfaces when the coefficient of static friction is 0.60?
The coefficient of static friction between two surfaces is 0.60.
When the block of mass is increased is there an increase in the value of coefficient of kinetic friction?
No, increasing the mass of the block does not directly affect the coefficient of kinetic friction. The coefficient of kinetic friction depends on the nature of the surfaces in contact and does not change with mass.
What surfaces would have the highest coefficient of friction?
Surfaces with a high coefficient of friction include rubber on concrete, sandpaper on wood, or a shoe sole on carpet. Typically, surfaces that are rougher or have more texture will have a higher coefficient of friction.
What is friction coefficient?
A higher coefficient of friction indicates that two surfaces in contact have a greater resistence. A lower coefficient of friction indicates that the two surfaces in contact have less resistence. Soccer cleats on grass have a greater coefficient of friction than skates on ice.
What is coefficient of friction..?
A higher coefficient of friction indicates that two surfaces in contact have a greater resistence. A lower coefficient of friction indicates that the two surfaces in contact have less resistence. Soccer cleats on grass have a greater coefficient of friction than skates on ice.
When two surfaces would have the highest coefficient or friction?
The coefficient of friction between two surfaces is highest when the surfaces are rough and have a large amount of resistance to sliding past each other. Smooth surfaces or surfaces with lubricants have lower coefficients of friction.
What factors influence the coefficient of friction?
The coefficient of friction is influenced by factors such as the roughness of the surfaces in contact, the materials of the surfaces, and the presence of any lubricants or contaminants.
A lower coefficient of friction indicates that the two surfaces in contact have less resistance?
Yes but make sure you are clear in your understanding between the coefficient of friction and the force of friction. The force of friction is the force that resists the motion of two surfaces moving against one another. The amount of friction is determined by the product of the coefficient of friction and the normal (perpendicular) force that is pressing the two surfaces together. The coefficient of friction is a unit-less constant, that indicates how two surfaces compare to two other surfaces that are being pressed together the same amount. If the normal force is the same on two pairs of surfaces the pair of surfaces with the lowest coefficient of friction will experience the lower force of friction.
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.
Is the coefficient of friction constant in this scenario?
In this scenario, the coefficient of friction is constant if the surfaces in contact and the conditions remain the same.
