What two things can you do to increase friction on an object?
Increasing the weight of the object and the smoothness of the surface the object is on (the less smooth the more friction)
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!
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 causes more friction?
If an object is moving on the same surface the friction is the same throughout. However, more friction is caused by a rougher surface and less friction is caused by smoother surfaces.
Is there less friction if snow skies have a large surface area?
No.
How does the surface of an object affect friction?
the smoother a surface is, the less friction it produces.
What is the friction between around surface and another object?
Because a round object has less surface area in contact with the solid surface it's being propelled upon, there is less friction between the two objects and the sphere will travel farther on that surface than a flat object (lots of contact....lots of friction....and therefore, resistance to motion) due to the difference in friction.
Does it matter how smooth or rough an object is to determine the amount of friction applied to an object?
yes a object will have less surface area than if it is smooth

Why does an object take longer to slow down on a slippery surface?
Because of friction and the surface it's on .if it's on a flat, slippery surface then it will have less friction and more acceleration. Therefore it is because of friction.
What surface creates the most friction?
Surfaces which are rough create the most friction. Like cement, or sand paper.
Why kinetic friction is less than sliding friction?
there is more surface area contact with kinetic friction as opposed to sliding friction
Why is sliding friction less than static friction?
Because when an object is sliding on the other the molecules donnot get time to inter lock properly
