The cause of friction

1. In general, smooth sutures produce less friction than rough surfaces

2. The strength of the force of friction depend on two factors
3. How hard the surfaces push together
4. The types of surfaces involved
5. Friction also increases if surfaces push hard against each other
6. When the irregularities of one surface come into contact with those of another
surface, friction occurs.
7. Friction acts in a direction opposite to the direction of the object motion
8. The friction that acts on object that are not moving is called static friction
9. Sliding friction occurs when two solid surfaces slide over each other
10. When an object rams across a surface, rolling friction occurs
11. Fluid friction occurs when a solid object movies through a fluid.
