"your mother" was the first answer but I'd rather say that it's about 0.8. Of course, it depends on the type of carpet and the nature of the rubber surface. Is it a shag pile carpet or a tightly woven burber, and is the rubber corrugated and soft or very hard and smooth?

technically yes. the force of friction can still be present if two objects within the vacuum rub together or touch. however, if there is no gas within the vacuum, then there is no friction on an object as it falls or otherwise moves without touching a surface.

How much friction thick carpet produces?

It doesn't work that way - friction is not something that is "produced". The way it works is that you have a coefficient of friction for two surfaces that are in contact. Then you use that coefficient of friction, and multiply it by the normal force, to calculate the actual FORCE of friction.For the coefficient of friction, you need to specify a PAIR of substances; for example, carpet against glass would probably have less friction than carpet against rubber.

You need two different materials to determine the coefficient of friction. Without another material you cannot know what the coefficient of friction is.

Rubber has more friction than an ice cube. Ice has almost no friction what so ever.


Which surface friction is the highest carpet plastic wood marble?

carpet has the most fictionThis cannot be answered really. Friction requires 2 surfaces in contact with each other . Rubber on Wood, has a high coefficient of friction, but plastic on wood has a low coefficient of friction. You must state , the make of the material you are going to use to slide over the Carpet, or Plastic, or Wood. Also , different types of carpet or plastic or wood will have very different friction coefficients. Example Nylon carpet is very easy to slide things along, but wool or cotton carpet is a very different story. There are many types of plastic which are rubbery in nature and they offer a lot of frictional resistance.


Do rubber tyres show more friction or less friction?

Rubber will have a high coefficient of friction on most surfaces, but we cannot know whether there is more or less friction unless we have something to compare it to.


What is the value of coefficient of friction of emery cloth?

Depends on the other surface. Coefficients of friction are generally tabulated for pairs of materials. Emery cloth on Teflon, for example, will have a lower coefficient of friction than emery cloth on rubber.


Which force slows down a ball when it moves?

The force of friction, which is the normal force (weight) multiplied by the coefficient of friction (how rough the carpet is).


What is the coefficient of friction of rubber on grass?

Check the following webiste and scroll down the large coefficient of friction table. http://www.roymech.co.uk/Useful_Tables/Tribology/co_of_frict.htm The table contains COF valus for rubber on cement in both wet and dry conditions. Also, understand that rubber is a considerably soft material, the COF is easily effected by the amount of normal force, the temperature, etc. Hope this helps.
