Coefficient of kinetic friction, coefficient of static friction. These are values that are associated with an object, and these coefficients are just numbers without units. The frictional force arises from interactions between molecules at high points on the surfaces of an object and its point of contact. On a mircroscopic level, frictional force is caused by intermolecular forces (fundamentally electrical in nature).
