Not so much the surface but the factor of friction is what will affect the force needed to drag a box of toys.
The equation:
where
- is the force exerted by friction (in the case of equality, the maximum possible magnitude of this force).
- is the coefficient of friction, which is an empirical property of the contacting materials,
- is the normal force exerted between the surfaces.
In simple terms, the slicker the surface, the less force that is needed to drag the toy box.

What factors might affect the force needed to drag a book?
Friction, the weight of the books, the number of books, the steepness of the surface that the book is being dragged on
How does the surface area of an object affect the free-fall time?
Aerodynamic drag, depends on size, surface texture and shape. The force behind it = mass * acceleration due to gravity
What factors affect the drag force that acts on high speed train?
Air resistant
How do thrust drag and gravity affect a hydro-rocket?
Thrust - is the force pushing it forwards Drag - the force acting against the rocket Gravity - the force acting upon the rocket trying to push it towards the centre of the earth
What factors affect an objects rate of fall?
The force of acceleration (gravity) the drag (resistance which is a complex factor including shape, density, surface structure, viscosity of the medium through which the object is falling, etc. )
What factors might affect the force needed to drag a book?
Friction, the weight of the books, the number of books, the steepness of the surface that the book is being dragged on
How does the surface affect the motion of an object?
The surface of an object affects the aerodynamic drag: a force which acts against the direction of motion.
What are the natural forces that affect running?
Drag. This is the force which acts against a runner and is the resultant force of the runner pushing against the particles in the air. Drag is affected by the mass and surface area of the runner. Friction is another force which can affect running.

What is the name of the frictional force between the surface and the air?
Viscous drag
What is drag in what situation might it act on force of gravity?
where air flowing along a surface will create lots of friction drag
How does the effect of drag force on surface area affect flying animals?
Friction will make it harder for a flying animal. Consequently they evolve to be as streamlined as possible- with the exception of the Bumble Bee for some reason.

The SI unit of the drag force?
If you consider drag as a force, that would be Newtons.If you consider drag as a force, that would be Newtons.If you consider drag as a force, that would be Newtons.If you consider drag as a force, that would be Newtons.
