Kinetic friction is affected by the weight of the object. TrueFalse

Answer;

The above statement is True

Kinetic friction is affected by the weight of the object.

Explanation; Kinetic friction is a force that acts between moving surfaces. An object that is in motion over a surface experiences a force in the opposite direction to the direction of movement. The equation for kinetic friction is given by the formula;

F = coefficient of friction * Normal force.

Normal force is the force of the table pushing back on the block and can be calculated by formula;

F = mass * acceleration due to gravity.

Therefore, the weight of an object determines its kinetic friction.

The answer is True. Friction is indeed affected by weight.
