Is the amount of friction greater between rough surfaces or smooth and Why?
Rough surfaces, the rougher the surface, the greater the friction.
Will the speed of the object affect the amount of friction between object and the surface?
No. The speed of the object does not affect the amount of friction between an object and the surface. Friction is affected by the types of surfaces in contact, smoother surfaces produce less friction, and the weight of the object moving horizontally affects the resistance relative to the two surfaces in contact. Greater weight causes greater resistance.
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 uses the least amount of friction?
wet surfaces like tiles have the least amount oof friction

What is the relationship between the type and the amount of friction?
The more uneven the surface, the more friction there is.
Which is greater to overcome fluid friction or sliding friction?
As a rule, sliding friction is greater to overcome than fluid friction. However, the variables could be manipulated to show it in both lights. The mass, weight, surface area, types of surfaces, speed, ect... are all variables in which the amount of force is needed to overcome sliding friction. While density and viscosity are major variables in fluid friction.
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.
