Does the surface area of an object affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface?

No, it doesn't, the only important thing is the force perpendicular to the surface (weight) and friction coefficient.

Does an objects weight affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface?
Yes. Double the weight and double the friction.
Will the speed of the object affect the amount of friction between object and the surface?
No. The speed of the object does not affect the amount of friction between an object and the surface. Friction is affected by the types of surfaces in contact, smoother surfaces produce less friction, and the weight of the object moving horizontally affects the resistance relative to the two surfaces in contact. Greater weight causes greater resistance.
What two things affect the amount of friction between two objects?
The coefficiant of friction between the two surfaces and the normal reaction force of the object lying on the surface
How can a wet surface affect friction?
Water can make a flat surface more slippery, which will decrease the amount of friction
What is the relationship between the type and the amount of friction?
The more uneven the surface, the more friction there is.
What can affect the amount of friction on an object?
the weight of the object, what its outside consists of, the nature of the surface it resting on.
Is it true that weight affects the amount of friction between the object and a surface?
Yes. Weight, being a force perpendicular to the surface, affects the magnitude of the friction, but not the friction coefficient.
Is friction affected by the amount of surface that is touching?
No: this is a common misconception Friction= Normal force* Coefficient of friction where Normal force= Mass* Acceleration due to gravity* Cos(angle of surface) and the coefficient of friction is an intrinsic property of the surface Therefore, only the mass of the object and the surface composition affect friction
Is the amount of friction greater between rough surfaces or smooth and Why?
Rough surfaces, the rougher the surface, the greater the friction.
What two factors affect the amount of friction between two ojects?
yeno
How surface influences the amount of friction there is?
The larger the contact surface, the more friction. The more uneven the surface, the more friction. The material of the surface has also an effect on friction.
What factors affect the coefficient of friction between two surfaces?
Surface temperature, Weight of the object, Roughness of surface and the object
