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!

Why do surface currents curve?
surface currents curve because the waves of an ocean bushes the sand. it mostly depends on the weather if its hot waves are known ed to be smooth, but if is bad weather like thunder or rain the waves will move faster so the currents cant handle the strength so it moves so it upper level curves leaving the sure to move closer to land.
Why do use powder on a carom board?
the main reason for doing so is that the surface becomes smooth n in terms of science to reduce "friction" that wud exist between the board n the striker due to which it will move more swiftly with lee deployment of power..!!
The amount of friction depends on what?
Friction depends on the surface that the object is going against. If an applied force is used to push a box on a ground, the friction is the surface of the ground, may the ground be rough or smooth, there is a force that goes against the applied force. Air friction is also a type of friction that many physics question does not account for, because it is a virtually small force.
What is the name to measure the force to move an object along a surface?
Force - Meter
Particles in a wave move in an elliptical or circular motion?
surface waves
Can snakes move on carpet?
Yes. A carpet provides a nice, rough surface that would allow a snake to move easily.
Is it hard to maneuver a laser mouse?
It depends on what kind of surface you use to move the mouse. If it is a rough surface it is pretty hard to move around. If it is on a smooth surface you can easily move the mouse around. I think the hardest to maneuver is the mouses with a ball in them.
How does an object move on a rough and on a smooth surface?
It is on smooth surfaces because the amount of friction is less.
Is greater force needed to move an object over a smooth surface than over a rough surface?
No because an object is much more easily pushed on a smooth surface than a rough because the rough surface will take more effort and energy because of it harsh surface
How do snake skins feel?
Rough, and pretty scaly.In some circumstances, if you move your finger in the right direction, smooth.Mostly smooth and scaly.
How snake move?
snake have not animals like in move flexible
When and object slides over a smooth horizontal surface how does the force of friction depend on the force of gravity on the object?
If the surface is smooth then it is almost frictionless. Hence the body will continue to move with constant velocity. However the object continues in a circular path and the weight is thus the centripetal force. It is assumed that the surface is very large)
Why snake could not move on glass?
When they slither, they move themselves by pushing the ground, kind of like walking. When they're on something really smooth, it's like walking on ice in flat bottomed shoes and the snake will mess up.
What covers the end of the bones to provide a smooth surface so that joints can move with little friction?
Cartilage (also known as: articular cartilage)
Why the photograph of the earth shows a smooth curved surface despite the mountains and valleys?
The farther you move away from any object, the smaller any irregularities on the surface are going to appear. Move far enough away and they won't even be noticed. Conversely, a smooth sheet of paper will appear to be covered with mountains and valleys if examined under high magnification.
Can a snake move in a straight line?
no a snake cannot move in a straight line as its bones are not stretchable_^^^^^^^^^^&
Why does an earthworm find it difficult to move on a glass?
Because glass is a smooth surface. Worms move by using microscopic hairs on their bodies to provide traction so they can pull themselves forward.
