Does then frictional force depend on the type of surfaces in contact?
Yes. Different materials and different surface structures affect the frictional force.
Does the frictional force depend on the type of surface in contact?
Yes. Different substances have a different coefficient of friction.
Why does weight affect frictional force?
Given an object if contact with a surface, the limiting frictional force is directly proportional to the normal reaction to the weight of the object at its point of contact with the surface.
Will frictional force depends on mass and density?
Frictional force depends on the contact force and on the coefficient of friction. The coefficient of friction depends on the types of materials in contact; the contact force may depend on mass, if it is caused by gravity.
How can you show that frictional force depends on nature of surface in contact?
Sandpaper vs. a bar of soap

Which force is an example of contact force?
Frictional force.
Does the nature of surface in contact influence friction force?
Yes. Roughly speaking, smooth surfaces tend to have less frictional force.
What does the force of friction between two objects in contact depend on?
The types of materials involved, any third party (like sand or grease), the surface finish of the two objects where they contact, the temperature of the interfacing surfaces, and the normal force.
Does the frictional force depends on the contact area?
The contact area hardly affects the frictional force. The frictional force depends on the normal force, and the coefficient of friction, which is a property you have to look up (or measure) for every pair of materials.
What is the force that oppose motion between surface?
Frictional force
What are the examples of contact force?
a contact force includes friction and air resistance
What type of force is the force of friction?
Frictional force is a contact force which opposes relative motion.
