no friction applies to all contacting stuffs; air, water, glass, buttcracks.

No, friction can be found when two objects of mass touch. Friction can occur between two solid objects, two liquids, and even two gases. It can occur on an global scale, as well as a molecular one. Friction is simply defined as "the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another."

What acts only between surfaces that are in contact?

Friction is a force that acts between surfaces in contact with each other, resisting their relative motion.


Do smooth surface produce friction?

Yes, smooth surfaces can still produce friction. Friction is caused by the resistance between two surfaces when they are in contact with each other, not only by the texture of the surfaces. Smooth surfaces can still generate friction, although the amount of friction may be lower compared to rough surfaces.


What things can increase friction?

If you are running on the carpet there is more friction because it is a rough surface .when you are skating on ice there is less friction because it is a slippery surface. PLEASE GIVE VOTES AND COMMENTS


Does friction only act on two solid surfaces?

Friction exists in all states of matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas. Of course, there is generally less friction when liquids or gas is involved, than there would be when two solid surfaces are involved.


Work done by static friction is alway?

In the reference frame of the interface between two surfaces, static friction does Zero work, because there is never displacement between the surfaces. But it can be positive , negetive or zero with respect to choosen frame of reference.


How does frictional force vary with change in roughness of the surfaces?

More friction is produced on a hard surface than on a smooth surface it takes more force and brute strength to push something heavy on a rough surface, because it falls in the cracks. On a smooth surface you are just sliding across a surface.


What wheels creates the most friction?

(Before I answer this question, I will restate it to "Which tires create the most friction?".) In racing, super soft racing tires usually create the most friction on road. They give wind to durability, but require only several turns to heat up.


Does friction only occur on earth?

Friction occurs between two surfaces in contact with each other. While friction is commonly experienced on Earth due to the presence of solid surfaces, it can also occur in other environments, such as in space where interactions between objects can create friction.


Can Friction occur in a vacuum?

Yes, in general friction can occur in a vacuum, but the only kind of friction that doesn't occur in a vacuum is, of course, air friction. There is no drag force on an object falling in a vacuum.


Is coefficient of friction dependent on the size of the perpendicular force?

No. The coefficient depends only on the two surfaces which are in contact.


What kind of friction requires more force?

Static friction generally requires more force to overcome compared to kinetic friction. Static friction occurs when two surfaces are at rest relative to each other, while kinetic friction occurs when the two surfaces are in motion. This is because static friction opposes the initial force applied to move an object, while kinetic friction only opposes the ongoing motion.
