Best Answer

The rougher then surface the greater the frictional force.

When a surface is rough and you put friction to it, it creates sparks while smooth surfaces when friction is added causes a slight stactic shock.

What are the variables for friction?

Surface area, surface roughness, material composition are all factors.


How does a surface affect friction?

Depending on the roughness or smoothness of the surface, it will increase friction if it is rough,(which has more microscopic hills and valleys). If the surface is made of a smooth material, it will decrease friction


What are the two main factors on which friction depends?

roughness of surface explain.... please..


What factors affect the coefficient of friction between two surfaces?

Surface temperature, Weight of the object, Roughness of surface and the object


How do you determine what surface roughness is needed?

Depend on what you need in surface roughness. Some process like fluid flow through pipe would minimized the surface roughness of the pipe to reduce the pressure drop while for floor surface coating require friction to prevent slip and so it determine whether the roughness would provide enough friction to prevent person walking to slip. Different roughness might need if compare between dry and wet floor.


What factors influence the magnitude of sliding friction?

weight ,roughness of the surface and applied force


How does the roughness of surfaces that are toughing affect the friction between the surfaces?

The rougher a surface is, the higher the coefficient of static and kinetic friction will be.


How does friction effect work?

As an object (I will use a ball for an example) slides across a surface or terrain it will gradually heat up and slow down due to the composition and features on the surface. Such features include coarseness/roughness. Friction is described in Newtons Three Laws of motion.


What are ways to increase friction?

1)increasing the roughness of the surface 2)increasing the mass of the object
