Surface friction is defined as the resistance of an object experiences during motion. So, for the same object, a smooth surface has less friction than a rough surface. Think about skating on ice or a piece of plywood!

Does a smooth surface reduce friction?

There is more friction between the surfaces of 2 smooth surfaces than one smooth surface because there is more surface area.


Which types of surface have more or less friction?

hard place has more friction and smooth place has less friction


What is much friction the smooth surface or the rough?

the rough surface creates more friction as to that of soft surfaced ones


What surface has the least amount of friction?

The surfaces used as the measure of lowest friction are generally wet ice on wet ice. Some materials, such as superfluid Helium III have no measurable friction.


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


How do you raise and lower frictional forces?

A rough surface like sandpaper will have more friction than a smooth surface. smoothing out a surface will reduce friction


Does a rough surface have a lot of friction?

Rough surfaces do create more friction than smooth surfaces. How much friction is created depends on how rough the surface is.


Would a rough surface have more or less friction than a smooth surface as you rubbed your hand across it?

more


Why some friction occur with seemingly smooth surface?

A smooth surface is not actually smooth; it may have many microscopic bumps on its surface.


How does frictional force vary with change in roughness of the surfaces?

More friction is produced on a hard surface than on a smooth surface it takes more force and brute strength to push something heavy on a rough surface, because it falls in the cracks. On a smooth surface you are just sliding across a surface.


Why is it difficult to strike a match on a smooth surface?

Heat necessary to lit a match comes from friction between match head and the surface. Smooth surface gives way less friction.


What creates more friction, concrete or grass?

Grass. This is because carpet (grass or soil) has more friction than a smooth surface like tile (concrete).
