Does surface type affect the force of friction?
Surface types can affect the force of friction because as the surface gets rough and rougher it has more friction and smooth surface has less friction. if we compare the affect of friction force on a ice and road. Road is much more rough than the ice chunk and if we slide a ice hockey puck on each of the surfaces, we get that smoother surfaces has less friction.
What is a force that resists motion between two surfaces that are in contact?
FrictionWhen two surfaces touch each other, there is some adhesion between the two. That adhesion results in friction, which opposes the motion of one surface with respect to the other.Friction opposes motion between two surfaces.*you will have more friction if you have rougher surfaces. the smoother the surfaces, the less friction.**friction is caused by the microscopic hills and valleys on objects rubbing up*
Does the nature of surface in contact influence friction force?
Yes. Roughly speaking, smooth surfaces tend to have less frictional force.
If the fulcrum is closer to the effort is the force less?
the force is less because if the fulcrum is father away from the effort the force will increase and become greater. so if the fulcrum is closer to the effort there will be less force.
How can the mass and distance increase or desrease the gravitational force?
More mass --> more gravitational force Greater distance --> less gravitational force

Is the amount of friction greater between rough surfaces smooth?
smooth surfaces have less friction, take an ice rink for example, the resistance on that is less than the resistance on asphalt
Is the amount of friction greater between rough surfaces or or smooth surfaces?
rough surfaces because it has more bumps that stop it from moving faster
A lower coefficient of friction indicates that the two surfaces in contact have less resistance?
Yes but make sure you are clear in your understanding between the coefficient of friction and the force of friction. The force of friction is the force that resists the motion of two surfaces moving against one another. The amount of friction is determined by the product of the coefficient of friction and the normal (perpendicular) force that is pressing the two surfaces together. The coefficient of friction is a unit-less constant, that indicates how two surfaces compare to two other surfaces that are being pressed together the same amount. If the normal force is the same on two pairs of surfaces the pair of surfaces with the lowest coefficient of friction will experience the lower force of friction.

the force is less because if the fulcrum is father away from the effort the force will increase and become greater. so if the fulcrum is closer to the effort there will be less force.
What happens to the force of gravity of the distance increases?
At greater distances, the force of gravity becomes less.
A locomotive has broken through the wall of a train station As it did what can be said about the force exerted by the locomotive on the wall Does the wall exert greater eqaul or less force than train?
The wall exerted less force, so the force exerted on the wall by the locomotive was greater than the force of the wall.
Machines let you use less force over a greater?
Exertion
If the input force is less than the input force of a simple machine the mechanical advantage is less than one?
it means the mechanical advantage is greater.
If the output force is less than the input force of a simple machine the mechanical advantage less than one?
it means the mechanical advantage is greater.
