What force causes a bisycle to take longer to stop on a wet surface than a dry one?

Friction. There is less friction between your bike tire and the ground when it's wet, increasing the stop time.

What happen to the force of friction if the surface of contact is polished?
Friction is still there and gravity causes that, if there is no gravity there is no friction. Only in your case friction is reduced because there is less drag because of the polished surface it is not harder to move along the surface. (assuming there is a force moving the object on top of the surface)
How does the roughness of a surface effect friction?
The rougher then surface the greater the frictional force. When a surface is rough and you put friction to it, it creates sparks while smooth surfaces when friction is added causes a slight stactic shock.
Does the frictional force depend on the area of surface contact?
No. Frictional force is independant of surface area.
What is the force that causes objects to move in circles?
The force that causes circular motion is called "centripetal force".
What force causes static charge?
Friction is the force that causes static charge
Why does pressure force acts perpendicular to the body?
If that force is not perpendicular to the surface, then there is a component of the force that's parallel to the surface. That component would move fluid around, until there were no longer any force parallel to the surface ... and the whole force would again be perpendicular to the surface.
Which force of nature causes the slowest change to the surface of the earth?
Weathering
What force between the ocean and wind causes surface currents?
;
What is a force or material that causes a change in Earth's surface?
Earthquakes or volcanic activity can change the surface of the Earth.
What force causes the tides to occur on Earth's surface?
The gravitational pull of the moon.

A force between the ocean and the wind causes what type surface currents?
friction
What provide the force that causes magma to erupt to the surface?
Convection, and thermal expansion.
What causes a ball to bounce back?
When a ball hits a surface, it gets distorted by the impact. Because of Its elasticity, it regains its original shape when the force is removed. This causes it to push against the surface and that causes the rebound.
What is a kids definition for surface tension?
surface tension is a force present within the surface layer of a liquid that causes the layer to behave as an elastic sheet.
The force of attraction that causes a higher density of air molecules near the earth's surface is called?
gravity
