What is the relationship between angle of friction and co-efficient of friction?

The angle of friction is the angle at which an object on a surface is on the verge of sliding. The coefficient of friction is a measure of the resistance to sliding between two surfaces. The tangent of the angle of friction is equal to the coefficient of friction between the surfaces.


What does 'co-efficient of friction' mean?

The amount of friction force that acts upon a body of mass depends on two factors: the property of the object and the normal force acting on the body. "Coefficient of friction" refers to the property of the material; in other words, the higher the coefficient of friction, larger the friction force is. The force of friction can be represented by this equation: FF = µFN. µ in this case represents the coefficient of friction. It can best be described as the numerical value that equates to the property of the object we are dealing with. µ does not have units; this reinforces the idea that it is just a numerical value that represents how "rough" or "smooth" the surface of an object is. Simply, the coefficient of friction is a way to describe, symbolically and numerically, how hard it is to move an object along a surface that the object is in contact with.


What is the Prefix for friction?

The prefix for friction is "co-", which means together or mutually.


Does coefficient of kinetic friction depend on weight?

No, the coefficient of kinetic friction does not depend on weight. It is a property of the surfaces in contact and represents the resistance to motion between them. Weight does not directly affect the coefficient of kinetic friction.


How do planes resist friction?

Planes cannot totally resist friction or wind resistance. Aerodynamics helps to lessen friction or wind resistance. I agree. Air has a lower friction co-efficient than things such as wheels rolling on a highway. So, get an airplane up in the air and it requires less energy to move it. If you throw a Frisbee through the air, it goes much further than it you slide it across the street. More detail plz

What is temperature co-efficient?

It means how much some quantity (for example, electrical resistance) changes as a function of temperature.

Why is the co efficient of kinetic friction less than static friction?

Because it's harder to get something to start moving than keep it moving if it already is. Coefficients of friction are merely constants dependent on the two surfaces in contact. Carpet has a higher coefficient of friction than ice because carpet has more microscopic bumps which oppose motion than smooth ice does.
