Question

Write two factors affecting friction? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Factors Affecting Friction. ... Friction depends partly on the smoothness of the contacting surfaces, a greater force being needed to move two surfaces past one another if they are rough than if they are smooth.

Answer 2

1. The factors that affect friction are:

(a) the condition of the surfaces in contact

(b) the weight of an object

2. A rough surface produces greater friction compared to a smooth surface.

(a) For example, it is harder to push or pull a heavy box along a carpet than along a tiled surface.

(b) The carpet produces greater frictional force than the tiled surface.

(c) The huge amount of frictin force impedes the box movement, making it very difficult to be moved.

3. We are more likely to slip while walking on a wet floor. This is because the wet floor is slippery and produces less friction.
