Best Answer

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.

Smooth


Is the amount of friction greater between rough surfaces or smooth surfaces why?

Rough because it takes longer to slide and gets more friction


Why is friction greater between surfaces that are rough?

the greater will strike opposing the motion

two rough surfaces :)


What types of surfaces create the most friction?

If both of the surfaces on which friction is to be created are very rough, the friction will be more. The more rough the surfaces more friction we have.


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


Does a rough surface have a lot of friction?

Rough surfaces do create more friction than smooth surfaces. How much friction is created depends on how rough the surface is.


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
