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.
Why does a Matt surface in sunshine get hotter than a shiny surface?
Matt surfaces are better absorbers of thermal radiation than shiny surfaces, as the light "bounces" around on the Matt surface meaning more energy can be absorbed, compared to a shiny surface. A look at a cross section of a Matt surface may be helpful.
Does a ball roll farther on dirt than on grass?
well, it is obvious that carpet would most likely win. the reason why is because it is the hardest surface. and it does not depent on the details. it depends, though, on the weight of the ball. if it is lighter, the ball would be faster and easier to use.
What refers to to water that flows over earths surface?
If you are talking about land above sea , then it would be called run off, because when precipitation falls , whether it is rain or snow , at some point it usually makes its way from the land to the sea via flowing over the surface of the earth.
Why would adapting to a gradual change in an evironment be easier for an ecosystem than adapting to a sudden disturbance would be?
A gradual change would indeed be much easier to adapt to, because there is more time to prepare. However, a quick change (say, a hurricane hitting a coast) would cause large amounts of distress because no organism in the ecosystem was prepared for it. There would be no time to get used to the problematic sequences. But, if there was a gradual change, like heating up slowly over the years, the organisms would be able to realize what was happening, and begin to change their ways based on the climate.
What would happen if a ramp were coated with a smoother surface the ramps efficiency would?
The answer is : Increase because friction would decrease.
If a ramp were coated with a smoother surface the ramps efficiency would .?
It would be increased because the loss due to friction would be reduced.
If a ramp were coated with with a smoother surface the ramp's efficiency would?
The smoother the surface of a ramp, the greater is the danger of a vehicle slipping and losing traction.A wet, smooth ramp could cause a pedestrian to slip over and be hurt.
If a ramp were coated with a smoother surface the ramp and efficiency would .?
The smoother the surface of a ramp, the greater is the danger of a vehicle slipping and losing traction.A wet, smooth ramp could cause a pedestrian to slip over and be hurt.

What surface will ball roll fastest on?
Dirt , assuming it is flat and dry . The answer depends upon the velocity of the ball and what resistance there is in either the dirt or grass .
What do you think the surface of sphinx would look like if it had been weathered by wind only?
It would be smoother and there would be less lost, as pollution such as smog eats into the limestone.
What would happen to the moon if it had water and wind?
Nothing much in reality. Its surface would be smoother (weathering) and it would be a more desirable target for our space voyaging; but those are superficial things.
What would a bicycle be easier to ride on?
A firm surface, preferably a mild descent.
If you were looking at Venus and Mars through a telescope which surface would be easier to see?
Mars
What would be the smoother of a city?
A bulldozer.
How does volcanic activity affect the formation of volcanic rock?
It depends where the rock was formed. If it was formed inside the earth, it would be rough. If it was formed on the surface, it would be smoother than the rock formed inside the earth.
