The surfaces used as the measure of lowest friction are generally wet ice on wet ice. Some materials, such as superfluid Helium III have no measurable friction.

Smooth surfaces have less friction than rough surfaces. E.g. marble, plastic, granite surfaces (when cut and sanded down).
A smooth surface has less friction than a rough surface. A smooth surface lubricated with water or oil has even less friction than a dry smooth surface.

The least friction happens on slippery and plane surface which has very little resistance and the greatest friction is happen on rough surface.The more rought the surface will be the more will be its friction.

What surface uses the least amount of friction?

wet surfaces like tiles have the least amount oof friction


Which surface gives the least friction?

Plane surface with negligible friction.


How surface influences the amount of friction there is?

The larger the contact surface, the more friction. The more uneven the surface, the more friction. The material of the surface has also an effect on friction.


How can a wet surface affect friction?

Water can make a flat surface more slippery, which will decrease the amount of friction


What surface causes the least friction?

Teflon.


What is the relationship between the type and the amount of friction?

The more uneven the surface, the more friction there is.


Is it true that weight affects the amount of friction between the object and a surface?

Yes. Weight, being a force perpendicular to the surface, affects the magnitude of the friction, but not the friction coefficient.


Does the surface area of an object affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface?

No, it doesn't, the only important thing is the force perpendicular to the surface (weight) and friction coefficient.


Is friction affected by the amount of surface that is touching?

No: this is a common misconception Friction= Normal force* Coefficient of friction where Normal force= Mass* Acceleration due to gravity* Cos(angle of surface) and the coefficient of friction is an intrinsic property of the surface Therefore, only the mass of the object and the surface composition affect friction


What two factors depend on the amount of friction?

gravity and how rough the surface is


Does an objects weight affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface?

Yes. Double the weight and double 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.
