it is because when we rub against a rough surface a force of friction act on it due to which it produce a spark.

bent: make different
raw3: what different
bent: this is not a good answer
raw3: ok, so When the matchstick is rubbed against against the rough surface,due to friction while rubbing heat is produced in large amounts thus causing the matchstick to burn.
bent: friend this a combustion question

Answer:

  • The matchstick rubbed against a rough surface because of the factor called as the force.
  • There are many types of forces. Here the force involved is in contact with the two surfaces, hence this is called as the ‘contact force’.
  • And it is further divided into frictional force. The matchstick when rubbed against the rough surface it results in the creation of the friction thereby promoting it to light further.
  • The ‘force of friction’ is responsible for lighting the matchstick.
