Why rubber suckers sticks on smooth surfaces?
The sucker is dish shaped, when pressed against a smooth surface the air is forced from beneath the sucker.The rubber makes an air tight seal and the air pressure outside is greater than the air pressure beneath the sucker, thus forcing the rubber sucker to 'stick'.
What is physical difference between surfaces with high and low coefficients of friction?
A high coefficient of friction may be caused by a rough surface. It may also be the result of surfaces sticking together, as in the case of rubber which tends to stick to certain surfaces, at least when it is dry. Lubrication - such as a thin layer of oil - tends to reduce the coefficient of friction.
Why do suction cup stick to wet surfaces better than dry surfaces?
No. How well a suction cup sticks to a surface has to do with how will a seal can be formed on the surface. Rough surfaces will not form good seals compared to smooth surfaces which means that suction cups will not stick as well to rough surfaces as they do to smooth surfaces.
What causes friction between the two surfaces?
There are irregularities on the surfaces of any material which might not be visible to the naked eyes. This rough surfaces causes friction between any two bodies.friction is caused by gravity pulling on one object making it "stick" to the other object.yo' momma!
What happens when you try to stick a suction cup on a rough surface Why?

How do you make a rubber band slingshot?
A rubber band slingshot can be made with a rubber band and a stick. The stick needs to be in the shape of a Y. Put the rubber band around the two small pieces of the stick and you will have a slingshot.
