When you look at surfaces under a microscope they are pretty rough. Molecules stick out everywhere. So when you slide one surface over another the molecules bump into each other and there are electrical forces tearing the molecules from the surfaces. Of course there are millions of these interactions and the net effect is what we call friction.

Does the nature in contact influence friction force?
Since friction means a contact force, the nature of contact will influence friction force. Smoothness of objects affect the friction force. However, as contact pressure rises, the friction does not rise.
Why does sandpaper have so much friction?
Due to the abrasive nature of sand.
What are the 4 factors affecting friction?
the 4 factors affecting friction are - 1. weight 2. surface 3. speed 4. nature of the objects
On what factors do the fluid friction depends?
the force of friction in a fluid depends on it's speed with respect to the fluid. It also depends on the shape of the object and the nature of the fluid.
What can affect the amount of friction on an object?
the weight of the object, what its outside consists of, the nature of the surface it resting on.
Does the nature in contact influence friction force?
Since friction means a contact force, the nature of contact will influence friction force. Smoothness of objects affect the friction force. However, as contact pressure rises, the friction does not rise.
What properties affect the force of friction?
The nature of the surface. A measure of this is the coefficient of friction.
What are the forces of gravity and friction?
They are forces of nature..
What are gravity and friction both forces of?
They are forces of nature.
Why does sandpaper have so much friction?
Due to the abrasive nature of sand.
What are the 4 factors affecting friction?
the 4 factors affecting friction are - 1. weight 2. surface 3. speed 4. nature of the objects
What is the main force in nature that causes water to flow?
Is it momentum friction electricity or gravity
Why does fluid friction change with the nature of the fluid?
Fluid friction is mostly a question of molecules moving past each other, ANY change in the fluid will effect that.
On what factors do the fluid friction depends?
the force of friction in a fluid depends on it's speed with respect to the fluid. It also depends on the shape of the object and the nature of the fluid.
What can affect the amount of friction on an object?
the weight of the object, what its outside consists of, the nature of the surface it resting on.
Static friction is a self adjusting force explain?
i think that static friction is the friction onl because of mass and nature of the surface
Is friction an important force of nature?
Yes, because without it, we couldn't walk. Walking is using the friction on the ground to hold our foot in one place as we lunge forward, so if it weren't for friction, then our foot would slip and we wouldn't be able to go anywhere.
