Does a rough bumpy surface produce more or less friction?
Generally more.
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.
Why do smooth surface produce less friction than rough surfaces?
Because there is less traction for an object to grab onto on a smooth surface rather than when an object runs over a rough surface.
Would a rough surface have more or less friction than a smooth surface as you rubbed your hand across it?

Is friction is more on smooth surface?
Surface friction is defined as the resistance of an object experiences during motion. So, for the same object, a smooth surface has less friction than a rough surface. Think about skating on ice or a piece of plywood!
Why do smooth surfaces produce less friction than rough surfaces?
Because there is less traction for an object to grab onto on a smooth surface rather than when an object runs over a rough surface.

What surface has the least amount of friction?
The surfaces used as the measure of lowest friction are generally wet ice on wet ice. Some materials, such as superfluid Helium III have no measurable friction.
What surface creates the most friction?
Surfaces which are rough create the most friction. Like cement, or sand paper.
How does an object move on a rough and on a smooth surface?
It is on smooth surfaces because the amount of friction is less.
Does rough surfaces exert greater friction?
Yes. Think about two steep hills. One is covered in ice (smooth). The other is covered in sandpaper (rough). The ice covered hill would be MUCH easier to slide down. Thus, the friction is much LESS, on a SMOOTH SURFACE. Then the opposite must be true, that friction is GREATER on a ROUGH SURFACE.
The amount of friction depends on what?
Friction depends on the surface that the object is going against. If an applied force is used to push a box on a ground, the friction is the surface of the ground, may the ground be rough or smooth, there is a force that goes against the applied force. Air friction is also a type of friction that many physics question does not account for, because it is a virtually small force.
