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.

No. Coefficient of friction is not measured in units.

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.

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?

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 ?
