the equation for kinetic friction if F= [coefficent of friction] x [normal force]
now, normal force is the force that the table is pushing back on the block to cancel out friction, so it can be said that
Force normal = [mass] x [accel due to gravity]
so in short, yes, it depends on the mass/weight of the block

If you're moving a block, friction will depend on weight - yes. Gravity has to be overcome. If you're not dealing with weight - as if for example you were in space and attempting to move the object - you would be instead contending with INERTIA.
Weight and mass are definitely a part of any kind of resisting force.

Yes.
Kinetic friction is a force of friction agings the motion of the moving block.
f=uN
f -force of friction
u - coefficient of kinetic friction
N normal to the surface force generated by the weight of the block and perpendicular to the surface.

once you're shifting a block, friction relies upon on weight - certain. Gravity should be conquer. in case you at the instant are not coping with weight - as if as an celebration you've been in area and attempting to bypass the article - you may be as a replace contending with INERTIA. Weight and mass are truly element of any variety of resisting rigidity.

Yes lady. More weight ==> more normal force ==> more friction

No. Kinetic Energy is 1/2*mass*velocity^2. Weight is not part of the equation. Mass and velocity are the only two variables.

yes, the heavier that the block is the harder it is to push it and the more weight it applies to the ground. therefore if its closer to the ground it causes more friction
