Rough surfaces do create more friction than smooth surfaces. How much friction is created depends on how rough the surface is.

What type of surface provides a lot of friction?

Rough surfaces tend to provide a lot of friction due to the increased amount of contact between the two surfaces, which leads to more interaction and resistance to sliding. Examples include sandpaper, concrete, and asphalt.

How is friction applied?

Friction is applied, by making the surface of whatever you want to slide across it (the thing you want to apply friction to) is really rough. You can inscrease, and decrease the amount of friction acting on an object by changing the texture, material and smoothness of the surface. Smoother surfaces don't apply much friction to objects, and rougher surfaces apply a lot. An example of this, is Wellington Boots. They have rough underneaths, so you don't fall over - they apply a lot of friction.


Does wood have a lot of friction?

Wood generally has a moderate level of friction due to its rough texture and absorbent nature. The amount of friction can vary depending on the type of wood, its finish, and the surface it is in contact with.


Is the force is greater on a smooth surface or on a rough surface?

The force is greater on a rough surface compared to a smooth surface, due to the increased friction between the surfaces. The rough surface provides more resistance to motion, requiring more force to overcome the friction.


Does a rough bumpy surface produce more or less friction?

A rough, bumpy surface typically produces more friction compared to a smooth surface. The irregularities on the rough surface create more contact points between surfaces, leading to increased resistance and friction during movement.


What type of surface increseed the friction?

rough places


Is there more friction on a rough surface show a picture?

Yes, there is more friction on a rough surface compared to a smooth surface. Rough surfaces have more irregularities that create greater interlocking between the surfaces in contact, leading to higher friction forces. Unfortunately, I'm unable to show pictures.


What do you call a surface that feels like it will have high friction?

rough


Examples of high friction?

Example of high friction is a really rough surface like sandpaper.


Why does rough surface offer greater friction than a smooth surface?

Almost always.
