Mass

What is the microscopic origin of friction between surfaces?

Electrostatic interactions

How does static friction behave as you gradually increase the applied force?

It adjusts to match applied force

What is the formula for maximum static friction force?

Fmax=μsFNF_{\text{max}} = \mu_s F_N

μs>μk\mu_s > \mu_k always

How does lubrication affect friction between steel surfaces?

Significantly reduces friction
