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 size and weight of an object can affect the amount of friction present. Generally, larger and heavier objects have more surface area in contact with a surface, which can result in greater friction. However, the type of surface and the roughness of the objects can also play a significant role in determining the amount of friction.
The relationship between friction and surface area of tires is unusual because an increase in surface area typically leads to an increase in friction, but for tires, this is not always the case. Tires with wider surface areas may not always have higher friction, as other factors such as tire material, tread pattern, and road conditions also play a significant role in determining friction.
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.
The amount of friction acting on an object on a solid surface can be influenced by factors such as the roughness of the surface, the weight of the object, the normal force pressing the object onto the surface, and the presence of any lubricants between the object and the surface. Additionally, the coefficient of friction between the surfaces in contact also plays a significant role in determining the amount of friction.
No, an object's weight does not directly affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface. Friction is determined by the nature of the surfaces in contact and the normal force acting between them, which is influenced by weight but is not directly proportional to it.
The more uneven the surface, the more friction there is.

No, it doesn't, the only important thing is the force perpendicular to the surface (weight) and friction coefficient.
No, weight does not directly affect the amount of friction between an object and a surface. The factors that affect friction are the nature of the surfaces in contact and the force pushing them together. The normal force, which is perpendicular to the surface, is what influences the frictional force, not the weight of the object.
No: this is a common misconception Friction= Normal force* Coefficient of friction where Normal force= Mass* Acceleration due to gravity* Cos(angle of surface) and the coefficient of friction is an intrinsic property of the surface Therefore, only the mass of the object and the surface composition affect friction
The force acting on an object increases the friction between the object and the surface it is on. As the force increases, the friction force also increases proportionally until it reaches a maximum value, called the limiting friction. This relationship is described by the equation: friction force = coefficient of friction * normal force.
the difference between this is that surface area
The amount of friction divided by the weight of an object forms a unitless number called the coefficient of friction. It represents the relationship between the force of friction and the normal force acting on an object. A higher coefficient of friction indicates greater friction between the surfaces.
