Surface types can affect the force of friction because as the surface gets rough and rougher it has more friction and smooth surface has less friction. if we compare the affect of friction force on a ice and road. Road is much more rough than the ice chunk and if we slide a Ice Hockey puck on each of the surfaces, we get that smoother surfaces has less friction.

∙ 15y agoIf two interacting surfaces have bumpy surface area then friction will increase.
Friction will be less if the surfaces are smooth and less deceleration for the object moving on this type of surface.
Frictional force decreases the magnitude of forward force.

How do mass and surface type affect friction?
if the mass is more than the friction is high. and if the surface is rough then also the friction is more. thus we can say that both mass and surface type affects friction.
What is the relationship between surface type and the amount of friction?
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.
What are the two factors that determine frictional force?
two variables are : the surface type and the mass of the object. So the more mass an object has the less friction it has. The less mass an object has, the more fiction it has.
How does the coefficient of friction depend upon the normal force between the surfaces in contact?
-- The friction force changes, and is directly proportional to the normal force. -- The coefficient of friction doesn't change. It is the proportionality constant in the first statement.
Does the frictional force depend on the type of surface in contact?
Yes. Different substances have a different coefficient of friction.
How will different masses affect friction?
friction depends on type of surface and force applied its not dependent on the mass till gravitation is taken into account

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 are the factors affecting friction?
The factors affecting sliding friction include the "roughness" of the surfaces in contact. That includes both of the object being slid and the surface on which it is sliding. The mass of the object being slid is also a factor. To some extent, any changes in either contact surface as the sliding motion occurs will affect sliding friction. There is generally a coefficient of friction that takes all of these factors into account, both in the static range and in the kinetic range of friction.
What does friction have to do with friction?
The type of force used.
What type of surface provides a lot of friction?
Rough surface provides lot of friction.
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.
