What are the sources of friction?
Friction occurs because of the interactions between two surfaces that are in contact. When either of the surfaces experiences motion, its friction that resists the same. Wheels moving on a surface will produce friction.
What causes more friction?
If an object is moving on the same surface the friction is the same throughout. However, more friction is caused by a rougher surface and less friction is caused by smoother surfaces.
What types of surfaces create the most friction?
If both of the surfaces on which friction is to be created are very rough, the friction will be more. The more rough the surfaces more friction we have.
Why sliding friction greater than rolling friction and if the area of contact is same?
The FORCE of Friction is INDEPENDENT of Surface Area. Only the 'Coefficient of Friction', and the Force between the two Surfaces. Sliding Friction is greater than Rolling Friction ONLY if the Coefficient of Friction is GREATER for the Sliding Surfaces.
How does the roughness of surfaces that are touching affect the friction betwen the surfaces?
The rougher the surfaces the greater the friction.

A lower coefficient of friction indicates that the two surfaces in contact have less resistance?
Yes but make sure you are clear in your understanding between the coefficient of friction and the force of friction. The force of friction is the force that resists the motion of two surfaces moving against one another. The amount of friction is determined by the product of the coefficient of friction and the normal (perpendicular) force that is pressing the two surfaces together. The coefficient of friction is a unit-less constant, that indicates how two surfaces compare to two other surfaces that are being pressed together the same amount. If the normal force is the same on two pairs of surfaces the pair of surfaces with the lowest coefficient of friction will experience the lower force of friction.

What are surfaces with very little friction?
Soap surfaces have very little friction.
How does the coefficient of static friction for two surfaces in contact compare to the coefficient of kinetic friction for the same two surfaces?
The coefficient of static friction is always larger because it takes more initial force to move an object that is at rest.
Can three surfaces create friction?
Yes, anything from 2 surfaces creates friction.
Does friction depend on the types of surfaces involved and how hard the surfaces push together?
Friction does depend on the types of surfaces involved and how hard the surfaces push together. Friction would be very minimal if the surfaces were smooth and not pushing together too hard.
How do you counteract friction?
Hi!Pokequartz001 at your service!You may remember me from questions such as "What is a Glitch?"or,"What the cheat use to get mewtwo?"Today,I was told to answer the question "How do you remove all the friction?"Well,i believe that means the same thing as"How do you stop all friction?"To do that i think you push down on the object that is rolling from the force of friction to stop it rolling and,so,there you go,youve "stopped all the friction"or,in other words,"Youve removed all the friction"Try it!
What are the surfaces in the body where friction ridges are found?
All surfaces that come into contact with each other generate friction. The magnitude of the friction depends on the specific properties the two surfaces. General rule: smooth surface --> less friction. But this fails sometimes too.
