Does clay have more friction than sandpaper?
Yes, clay does have more friction than sandpaper. This is because, clay is a much heavier object/material then sandpaper, therefore if you were to drag a lump of clay on the floor and measured the friction, it would be higher then the amount of friction caused by sandpaper. If the amount of force needed to pull the clay is larger then the amount of force needed to pull the sandpaper, that means that there is a much larger amount of friction present, because the more friction there is present, the harder you would need to pull. Hope this helps.
What type of surfaces have more friction than other?
I would say a carpet or rope has alot of friction. but if you want to test for your self use a toy car on a slope and let in roll down the longer it takes to get to the end the more friction the material has.
How much friction thick carpet produces?
It doesn't work that way - friction is not something that is "produced". The way it works is that you have a coefficient of friction for two surfaces that are in contact. Then you use that coefficient of friction, and multiply it by the normal force, to calculate the actual FORCE of friction.For the coefficient of friction, you need to specify a PAIR of substances; for example, carpet against glass would probably have less friction than carpet against rubber.
Does a tire or pulley have more friction?
A tyre has more friction than a pulley.
What is the Defintion of sliding friction?
Sliding friction is when two objects slide across from one another. An example is sliding a book across a desk. It is also known as Kinetic friction.Sliding friction is friction caused by an object sliding over another surface.

What surface would produce the greatist friction on an object?
Carpet has more friction than tile. Tile has more friction than ice.
Why does a carpet have more friction than linoleum flooring?
Because you are black!
How do you raise and lower frictional forces?
A rough surface like sandpaper will have more friction than a smooth surface. smoothing out a surface will reduce friction
What has more friction lino or carpet?
Carpet typically has more friction than linoleum because of its thicker and softer texture. The fibers in carpet create more resistance when objects or feet move across its surface, resulting in more friction compared to the smooth texture of linoleum.
Does friction depend on the nature of surface in contact?
Yes it does. That's why skating is a lot more fun on ice than on sandpaper.
What creates more friction, concrete or grass?
Grass. This is because carpet (grass or soil) has more friction than a smooth surface like tile (concrete).
Why is the co efficient of kinetic friction less than static friction?
Because it's harder to get something to start moving than keep it moving if it already is. Coefficients of friction are merely constants dependent on the two surfaces in contact. Carpet has a higher coefficient of friction than ice because carpet has more microscopic bumps which oppose motion than smooth ice does.
Why it easier to walk on a carpet floor than on a polish smooth surface?
There is more friction, this ensures your feet do not slide
What type of surfaces have more friction than other?

Why is it harder to push a box across a carpet floor than a smooth floor?
Because of the friction in the carpet fibers.
What is friction affected by?
Weight and surface affect friction. The more mass an object has more friction that will occur ex:/ It would be harder to slide an elephant across a floor than a hockey puck. This is because the large amount of friction on the elephant would slow it down. The smoother the surface the less friction. ex:/ There will be more friction on a floor of sandpaper than there would be on a floor of ice.
