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
When driving friction is critically affected by your what?
friction is critically affected by your what?
How does weight and mass affect friction?
Well weight and mass are proportional... But mass affects friction because the higher your mass the higher your friction.
What factors make a car stop more slowly?
Friction. Friction would affect how fast a car stopped (i.e. lots of friction equals fast stopping). The friction would be affected by the road conditions (icy roads less friction), tire condition (wore down gives less friction), mass of car (as if the mass is large it will have more momentum and therefore will be harder to stop, a=F/m so if mass is large deceleration will be smaller) and the reaction time will affect the total stopping time (but not the braking time).
What affected by gravity the weight or the mass?
The mass is basically NOT affected by gravity. The weight IS affected, and it is equal to mass x gravity.

What is friction affected by?
Weight and surface affect friction. The more mass an object has more friction that will occur ex:/ It would be harder to slide an elephant across a floor than a hockey puck. This is because the large amount of friction on the elephant would slow it down. The smoother the surface the less friction. ex:/ There will be more friction on a floor of sandpaper than there would be on a floor of ice.

Does mass effect friction?
mass effects friction by making the object go slower as mass increases
Does the mass of an object affect friction-?
Yes Friction=Reaction force x COF Reaction force = mass x gravity So Friction=mass x gravity x COF ^ Change the mass, change the friction
what are three things affected?
what are three things affected by friction
What affected by gravity the weight or the mass?
The mass is basically NOT affected by gravity. The weight IS affected, and it is equal to mass x gravity.
Is mass a type of friction?
No, however mass and or density is directly related to the amount of friction
How do mass and surface type affect friction?
if the mass is more than the friction is high. and if the surface is rough then also the friction is more. thus we can say that both mass and surface type affects friction.
Is ocean tides are affected by friction?
No.
