Wood has a rougher and less flexible surface compared to felt, leading to greater surface contact and thus more friction with the smooth surface of metal. Felt has a smoother and softer texture, which reduces the surface area in contact with metal and therefore decreases friction.

What has more friction metal or rubber?

Rubber generally has more friction than metal because of its softer and more flexible surface. The higher coefficient of friction makes rubber better suited for applications where strong grip or traction is necessary, such as in tire treads or shoe soles. Metal surfaces, on the other hand, tend to be smoother and have lower friction.

Is sliding friction more than rolling friction?

Yes, sliding friction creates more thermal energy and wears down the two surfaces quicker than rolling friction.


Does rolling friction tend to oppose motion more than sliding friction does?

Generally, sliding friction is much stronger than rolling friction.


Which has less friction on a PVC pipe wood or metal?

PVC pipe has less friction. They are also longer lasting than the others.


What type of friction will slow an object more?

Why kinetic friction is less than sliding friction?

there is more surface area contact with kinetic friction as opposed to sliding friction


Does a tire or pulley have more friction?

A tire typically has more friction than a pulley because it has a larger surface area in contact with the ground or road, creating more friction. Pulleys are designed to minimize friction by using rolling contact between the rope or belt and the pulley wheel.


Why is oil important in a car?

Because it lubricates. Instead of metal-on-metal contact, it puts a film of oil between the metal components, so that it's fluid friction, rather than friction between two solids - the latter of which causes excess wear and can actually fuse components together.
