Solution
The incorrect statement about friction is: "coefficient of kinetic friction depends on the speed of motion".
The coefficient of kinetic friction is a constant value for a given pair of surfaces and does not depend on the speed of motion. It only depends on the nature of the surfaces in contact.
The other statements are also incorrect:
- The coefficient of kinetic friction does not depend on the normal force on the object. It is independent of the magnitude of the forces involved.
- The coefficient of kinetic friction does not depend on the acceleration of the object.
- The coefficient of kinetic friction does not depend on the direction of motion. It is a scalar quantity and has no direction.
So, the only correct statement is: "coefficient of kinetic friction does not depend on the direction of motion".
