When a car is moving north what will be the force of friction acting on the car due to surface of road?

Friction is the only thing preventing the wheels spinning. The point on the wheel touching the road is trying to push the road backwards, and if it doesn't slip the road resists with an opposing frictional force. This force will equal the sum of all the forces trying to stop the car (wind resistance etc) plus any mass x acceleration of the car.

Would it be say that no force acts on a body moving on a perfectly smooth surface?
It would not be a perfect answer if I said yes because you did not assume that if the body was moving in vacumn. If its not, like for example it is moving on an ice block on the surface of the earth then the object still has gravity and the air friction acting on it. Even the molecules of the ice's surface attract the surface of that object it is in contact with. So if I say that the object is in space then it would be a incredibly correct answer to say yes, there are no force acting on the body.
The force that opposes the motion of an object moving on a surface?
Friction.
What is the force that opposes motion when moving objects over a surface called?
The force that opposes motion when moving objects over a surface is called friction
What force is acting when the kinetic energy of a moving object is converted into thermal energy?
Friction
Why rolling friction is less than sliding friction?
Rolling friction is the force of friction between two surfaces when one surface rolls over another.Sliding friction is the force of friction between two surfaces when one surface is moving on another.

What is the force acting on a unit area of a surface?
That would be the "pressure" on the surface.
What is a forward force acting on a moving vehicle?
that's FRICTION my child
The force that opposes the motion of an object moving on a surface?
Friction.
What is the friction that hinders a stationary object from moving on a surface when a force is applied to that object?
Static friction. The frictional force is greater then the force applied, meaning the object can't move.
What is the net force acting if an object is moving along a surface with a constant acceleration?
If the object is moving along a horizontal surface with a constant acceleration,then the net vertical force on it is zero, and the net horizontal force on it is(the pushing force) minus (any kinetic friction force where it rubs the surface).The numerical value of that net force is(the acceleration) times (the object's mass).
