The force of friction depends on the nature of the surfaces in contact and the normal force pressing the surfaces together. A rough surface will create more friction compared to a smooth surface, and increasing the normal force pressing the surfaces together will increase the friction force.
What else can I help you with?
What force is not acting upon a ball that is thrown in the air?
The force of friction is not acting upon a ball that is thrown in the air. Friction is a force that opposes motion, but when a ball is thrown in the air, there is no surface contact for friction to act upon.
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.
What dose friction depend upon?
Friction depends on the nature of the surfaces in contact, the force pressing the surfaces together, and any lubricants or contaminants present between the surfaces. Typically, rougher surfaces result in higher friction levels, while smoother surfaces and lubricants can reduce friction.
Can you move the things without friction?
In theory, yes. Without friction, objects can move indefinitely in any direction until acted upon by an external force. However, in reality, completely eliminating friction is difficult, so some form of resistance may always be present.
When you are running on a road you are acted upon by frictional force of the road.Is there another force of friction acting on you?
Yes, the force of static friction is also acting between the soles of your shoes and the road surface to help propel you forward while running. This force allows you to push off the ground and move in the direction you want.

What is the force called when one surface exerts on another when the two rub against each other?
Friction makes things (like soles) rub away

What are 2 things upon which amount of gravitational force between 2 objects depend?
The 2 masses and the distance between them.
What is is the force that rubs things away?
Magnets produce forces that act upon each other that are called attraction and repulsion. When two things rub against each other is called friction.
Do living things depend upon nonliving things?
The oxygen molecule, theoretically, does not live. We depend on it. So yes.

What is required to get a stationary object moving?
An outside force is needed. If friction comes into play (which it likely will), the magnitude of the applied force must be greater than the force of friction acting upon the object in order for the object to move. FYI, the force of friction is equal to the coefficient of static friction times the normal force (equal to the weight of the object).
What kind of frictional force is acted upon smooth surface?
If it is perfectly smooth then only sliding friction.
How is an able to maintain a constant speed when friction acts upon it?
An object maintains a constant velocity when the net force acting upon that object is zero. Therefore, a force pushing against the object that exactly opposes the force(s) due to friction (in both magnitude and direction) will result in a net force of zero, and the object will maintain a constant speed.
