What is the relationship between surface type and the amount of friction?

∙ 12y ago
The magnitude of the force of friction is a function of the normal (perpendicular) force of the object and the surface properties of the two materials. It's a linear relationship; for example, if an object is sliding along a horizontal table with a weight of 2 lbs, then friction will double if an additional 2 lbs of force is added to the object.

The normal force (the force holding them together) increases only the magnitude of friction. If you increase the area, you decrease the force per square inch (pressure) equally.

What is the relationship between friction and surface area of tires unusual?
There is really nothing unusual here, but some people may be surprised when they first find out that the amount of friction between two surfaces doesn't depend on the surface area.
What is the relationship between the size and weight of an object and the amount of friction that is present?
Because the size is a kintec force on it
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.
Is the amount of friction greater between rough surfaces or smooth and Why?
Rough surfaces, the rougher the surface, the greater the friction.
Does an objects weight affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface?
Yes. Double the weight and double the friction.
What is the relationship between the type and the amount of friction?
The more uneven the surface, the more friction there is.

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 the amount of friction greater between rough surfaces or smooth and Why?
Rough surfaces, the rougher the surface, the greater the friction.
Does an objects weight affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface?
Yes. Double the weight and double the friction.
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.
What two things affect the amount of friction between two objects?
The coefficiant of friction between the two surfaces and the normal reaction force of the object lying on the surface
What is the relationship between the surface area of the skin amount and heat lost through the skin?
the difference between this is that surface area
The amount of friction between the two surfaces depends upon the type of surface and what other factor?
The normal force between them.
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.
