Is greater force needed to move an object over a smooth surface than over a rough surface?
No because an object is much more easily pushed on a smooth surface than a rough because the rough surface will take more effort and energy because of it harsh surface
Why do smooth surfaces produces less friction than rough surfaces?
Because there is less traction for an object to grab onto on a smooth surface rather than when an object runs over a rough surface.
How does surface area affect friction?
more rough surface more friction object have
What is applied to reduce friction?
friction is produced on rough surface... so like we use oil and Greece to reduce friction because it disconnet the contact of the object from the rough surface.......
How can the force of friction be reduced?
Friction can be caused by many things, but generally it is the result of rough surfaces touching other rough surfaces. We calculate the force of friction on an object by multiplying the coefficient of friction for that object AND THE SURFACE IT'S TOUCHING (µ) by the force of gravity acting upon the object (if the object is on a flat surface--if not, you take the component of gravity perpendicular to the surface the object is resting on)--that is, the object's weight. In order to reduce µ efficiently, one could try to lubricate the object, or to sand down any wood surfaces, etc. to make both sides as smooth as possible.

Will friction resist motion of an object on rough surfaces?
Friction always resist motion if the object is sliding on surface.
Does it matter how smooth or rough an object is to determine the amount of friction applied to an object?
yes a object will have less surface area than if it is smooth

Is friction is more on smooth surface?
Surface friction is defined as the resistance of an object experiences during motion. So, for the same object, a smooth surface has less friction than a rough surface. Think about skating on ice or a piece of plywood!
Why does a smooth object glide when rubbed over a smooth surface?
Because if there are no rough edges then there is less resistance.
