Depending on the surfaces in question the effects of friction can be;
Wearing down of the surface(s).
Build up or creation of heat.
Expansion of surface(s) from above mentioned heat.
Suspension of wear particles (either in air or liquid). [Think sandpaper on wood for air and metal shaving in oil for liquid].

What does friction do with smooth surfaces?
there is no such thing aas a frictionless object (Perpetual motion machine) so friction still effects it
What is the effect of surface area on friction?
The increase in One increases the Other. What alters the friction effects between Surfaces is another matter.
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.
How does the roughness of surfaces that are touching affect the friction betwen the surfaces?
The rougher the surfaces the greater the friction.
What are surfaces with very little friction?
Soap surfaces have very little 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.
Can three surfaces create friction?
Yes, anything from 2 surfaces creates friction.
What type of surfaces have little friction?
smooth surfaces
What effects does friction have between a wooden block and the surface its resting on?
If the block is stationary, friction has no active effects. However, if a force is applied to the block, it will continue to stay at rest until that force is more powerful than the force of friction. If the block is moving, the friction between the two surfaces is slowing the block down. This is because the surfaces of the two objects bond together (temporarily). When the object moves, the bonds break, and this releases heat, so both of the objects also heat up due to friction.
What type of surfaces might cause a toy car to roll faster or slower?
Faster: Surfaces with less friction (smooth) ;slanted surfaces Slower: Surfaces with more friction (sticky surfaces, rough surfaces), uphill surfaces Of course a slanted surface with too much friction will also make the car slower.
Why is there less resistance on a smooth surface?
Because friction is less on smooth surfaces. Smoother the surfaces, lesser the friction.
Is the amount of friction greater between rough surfaces or smooth and Why?
Rough surfaces, the rougher the surface, the greater the friction.
