The coefficient does not depend on surface area. The coefficient does not depend the speed of the object (for kinetic friction). This model can still be used for rolling objects.

Friction Experiments The kinetic friction coefficient was measured between two varieties of liquid silicone rubber having 50 and 70 shore hardness, as well as a polyisoprene for comparison, and an ...
