How will different surfaces affect the speed of a roller skate on an incline plane?
It depends on its roughness of the surface. The roughness on the surfaces will tell you how much friction will be acting. It is believed that the friction is caused by the interaction of the particles at sub-atomic level. The greater the interaction between the particles, the greater the friction. The more rough the surface, the less area will interact with both surfaces. Different surfaces, will have different friction coefficients, which decide if the roller skate will slip or not slip.
What forces affect the friction between two surfaces?
Force pushing two surfaces together
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 two factors affect the force of friction?
The 2 factors on which friction two body is depended uponThe mass of the body,the coefficient of Static or limiting or dynamic friction( as the case may be)Gravity too.
Factors that affect the amount of friction?
1.nature of the substance and the surface (roughness or smoothness). 2.mass of the object.
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 roughness of surface that are touching affect the friction between the surface?
the rougher the surface is, the more friction there will be
What factors affect the coefficient of friction between two surfaces?
Surface temperature, Weight of the object, Roughness of surface and the object

How does surface roughness affect friction?
answer it yourself ;)
What are the two surfaces that affect the friction force between two surfaces?
mass and velocity
What factors that affecting friction?
Friction actually depends on the roughness or smoothness of the surfaces of the object. Even some smooth objects that we usually see everyday (ex. glass, mirrorr,etc.) aren't that smooth when magnified by strong microscopes. They still have rough surfaces therefore they can also have friction. Factors that affect friction: 1.) Adhesion 2.) Surface roughness 3.)The area of an object which is in contact with the surface. The larger the surface in contact, the greater friction. 4.)The texture of the surface and/or the object. The rougher/more uneven the surface/object, the greater the friction. 5.) The weight on the surface. The larger the weight, the greater the friction 6.)The angle of the surface. The greater the angle of the surface, the greater the friction.
What are two factors that affect tha friction force between two surfaces?
The coeffient of friction. The force holding the 2 surfaces together.
How would a reduction in friction in a stream channel affect the streams velocity?
As water in the stream channel flows, it encounters friction; the friction slows the forward movement. The shape,size, and roughness affect the amount of friction. High friction slows the stream significantly.
