Question

Explain how are the different factors affect the forceof friction.

Answer 1

friction: Factors Affecting Friction. ... However, friction decreases with smoothness only to a degree; frictionactually increases between two extremely smooth surfaces because of increased attractive electrostatic forces between their atoms.

Answer 2

When we move an object on any surface, we can feel a opposing force forcing the object to stop, this opposing force is known as friction. Friction is greater on rough surfaces as these surface have a lot of bumps and ridges. Where as friction on smoother surfaces is less as smooth objects move easily.

The factors that affect friction are as follows:-

Surface on which the object is moved or the nature of the surface. i.e., rough surface, smooth surface, liquids etcThe weight of the object or the amount of force on the surface by the object
