Common mineral that breaks along smooth flat surface?
cleavage, if a natural property of the mineral (e.g. mica); or a fault, such as in a gemstone.
What is the property that causes some minerals to break along smooth flat surfaces?
This property is called cleavage.
How does sandpaper slow thing down?
All materials have a property called the coeffecient of kinetic friction. When this property is high, a higher friction force resists the motion of objects across the surface. Sandpaper has a higher coefficient of kinetic friction as compared to something like ice. This is because ice is smooth whereas the surface of sandpaper is very rough which increases the friction it causes.
What physical property is described in the following statement The asphalt is smooth.?
It's actually texture APEX
Why can't a snake move on a smooth surface?
A snake can move on a smooth surface. However, just like most other animals, it does require friction to exist between the surface and its body to move efficiently. A human would have difficulty walking on ice!

Smooth surface
Is refractive index a chemical property?
The only reason a material is able to reflect light is because of its smooth surface and the substance that it is made of which are physical property

No it does not have to be smooth.

The leaves of Betula populifolia are smooth on the lower surface.
Is rough surface better or smooth surface?
The rough surface is better than the smooth surface for the frictional force to act.
