Is friction caused by gravity?
No, friction is caused by the electrostatic attractions between atoms on contacting surfaces and physical surface irregularities. Gravity has no effect on friction.
How is rolling friction caused?
How is rolling friction caused
What causes friction between 2 objects?
Friction is caused by the interlockings that are present between the two bodies in contact due to the irregularities of the surfaces. Greater the interlocking greater is the 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.
Why is sliding friction less than static friction?
Because when an object is sliding on the other the molecules donnot get time to inter lock properly
Surface currents are caused by friction between which two elements?
the ocean surface and wind

What is the physics behind the textureing the surface in order to reduce friction and wear of body?
Texturing involves the smoothening of the surface. As friction is caused due to the interlocking of the irregularities of the two surfaces in contact, smoothening of the surface makes sure that there are less of these 'irregularities'. The lesser the irregularities, the lesser will be the friction. The lesser the friction, the lesser the wear and tear.
How is friction formed?
Scientists are not completely sure what causes friction; however, it is thought to be caused by the interactions between the tiny bumps on surfaces as they rub against each other. The bumps on each surface bend and exert a force on each other making it hard for the surfaces to slip over each other.

When does friction decrease?
Friction will decrease if the coefficient of friction decreases. This can be caused by having a smother surface up to a point. (When two surface are TOO smooth the friction actually increases due to molecular attraction.)
Rise and fall of water caused by friction of wind on water surface?
water
How do forces and Friction affect the motion of virtually everything around you?
The "feel" of the wind on your face is actually caused by friction. The fact that you can stand without you feet slipping (like they do on an icy surface) is caused by friction.
