The coefficient of friction is a dimensionless scalar value that describes the ratio of the force of friction between two bodies in contact to the force pressing them together. It is used to quantify the amount of friction between two surfaces and is dependent on the materials and surface conditions of the bodies in contact. A higher coefficient of friction indicates a greater resistance to motion between the two surfaces.

Coefficient of friction is a dimensionless scalar value that describes the ratio of the force of friction between two surfaces to the force pressing the two surfaces together. It is a measure of the degree of opposition to motion between two objects.
