Least friction typically means smoother surfaces. Surfaces with less roughness or texture have lower friction, allowing objects to slide more easily across them.
The texture of a surface affects the friction when sliding because rough textures create more resistance between the surfaces, resulting in higher friction. Smoother surfaces have lower friction as they have less contact points for resistance to occur. Therefore, rougher textures generally exhibit higher friction compared to smoother textures when sliding.
Friction depends on the nature of the surfaces in contact, the force pressing the surfaces together, and any lubricants or contaminants present between the surfaces. Typically, rougher surfaces result in higher friction levels, while smoother surfaces and lubricants can reduce friction.
The type of material affects friction because different materials have different surface textures and properties that can either increase or decrease the amount of friction between two surfaces in contact. Rougher materials typically create more friction, while smoother materials create less friction.
Pavement is smoother and harder than grass, providing a rougher surface for tires to grip onto, thus creating more friction. Grass has a softer and uneven surface, resulting in less traction and lower friction compared to pavement.
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.

Rough surfaces will have more contact points, creating more friction due to the increased resistance between the surfaces. Smoother surfaces have less contact points, resulting in lower friction because there is less resistance between the surfaces.
Surface and material affect friction by changing the amount of contact between objects and the roughness of the surfaces. Smoother surfaces with less friction will have less resistance to motion, while rougher surfaces with higher friction will have more resistance. The type of material can also impact friction, as some materials have a higher coefficient of friction and will create more resistance when in contact.
Grass has more friction than ice because grass has a rougher texture and more surface area for objects to grip onto, creating more resistance when moving over it. Ice is smoother and has less friction because it has a low coefficient of friction, making it easier for objects to slide over its surface.
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.
