The coefficient of friction is not defined for a single substance, but for two substances that have contact with each other - for example, marble with marble, marble with wood, etc.; it may also vary a lot depending on lubrication. That is, on a wet wet marble floor you'll slip easier - there is less friction - than on a dry one.

What factors determine the coefficient of friction?
quality of the Surface is affected to the Coefficient of friction
Give an example of two surfaces that would have a low coefficient of friction?
Friction is the static electricity of two things that are rubbed against each other. Ice would have a low coefficient of friction, as things could easily slide across it. This would also make sense for something like marble, which is very smooth.
What is the coefficient of friction of linoleum rubber?
You need two different materials to determine the coefficient of friction. Without another material you cannot know what the coefficient of friction is.
What the value of abs plastic static friction coefficient?
With what material? Coefficient of friction is for two materials.
Is the coefficient of friction the same as when the block was standing on its larger (or smaller) end?
The coefficient of friction is the same in this case.
Is the coefficient of friction up to 13 unit?
No. Coefficient of friction is not measured in units.
What factors determine the coefficient of friction?

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 or coefficient of limiting friction are same?
Limiting friction is just the maximum static friction force (if you go over that point static friction becomes kinetic friction).Let f = frictional force,c = coefficient of frictionN = Normal forcefmax = cN = limiting frictionAlthough the term coefficient of limiting friction is not really used, I'd assume it would just be "c" (it's a coefficient after all). So they would be the same.If you meant is coefficient of friction the same as limiting friction, than the answer is no. Coefficient of friction is just the "c" in the equation. Limiting friction however is the product of the coefficient and the normal force.
What is the coefficient of friction of linoleum rubber?
You need two different materials to determine the coefficient of friction. Without another material you cannot know what the coefficient of friction is.
What are the units that friction is measured in?
The coefficient of friction is dimensionless; it has no units.
What the value of abs plastic static friction coefficient?
With what material? Coefficient of friction is for two materials.
What are the units of the coefficient of friction?
The coefficient of friction is a scalar quantity which has no direction which does not have an angle.
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.
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.
How do you calculate friction equals coefficient of friction X normal force when frictional force and coefficient force are variables not given?
Friction= (coefficient of friction)(normal reaction) If you don't have the friction or the coefficient of it I'm sure you must have been given something else. Could you add the exact question to the discussion ?
