Friction, which produces heat.
The tip of the match is designed to ignite at low temps.
You strike a match on the rough strip on the side of the matchbox.
A match can be ignited by striking it against a rough surface, such as the striking strip on the matchbox.
The red part at the end of a match is called the match head. It is made of a mixture of potassium chlorate, sulfur, and phosphorus, which ignites when struck against a rough surface.
The heads of strike-anywhere matches are composed of two parts, the tip and the base. The tip contains a mixture of phosphorus sesquisulfide and potassium chlorate. Phosphorus sesquisulfide is a highly reactive, non-toxic chemical used in place of white phosphorus. It is easily ignited by the heat of friction against a rough surface.
A matchstick typically contains about 2-3 milligrams of phosphorus. This phosphorus is a key component in the match's striking surface, which ignites when rubbed against a rough surface.
Rubbing the match head on a rough surface creates friction, which generates heat. This heat is essential for initiating the reaction between the match head's chemicals (such as potassium chlorate and red phosphorus) and the sulfur present in the matchstick. This reaction leads to the match igniting and producing a flame.
Yes, safety matches can ignite when rubbed against a rough surface like a wall. The friction created by rubbing the match head against a rough surface can generate enough heat to ignite the chemicals on the match head, leading to a flame.

Rubbing together two smooth surfaces will typically result in less friction compared to rubbing together rough surfaces. This is because smooth surfaces have fewer irregularities and less surface area in contact, leading to reduced friction. Rough surfaces have more contact points and irregularities, increasing friction.
No, but rubbing with a rough cloth will.
Sandpaper is commonly used to smooth out rough surfaces by rubbing it against the area to make it smoother by removing imperfections and rough spots.
When you rub a match against a rough surface, friction generates heat that ignites the matchstick. The energy to start the fire doesn't come from nowhere; it comes from the mechanical work you do by rubbing the match against the rough surface, converting it into thermal energy to ignite the matchstick. This process still follows the law of conservation of energy.
