Our experiment was testing the theory that if the surface that the weight is sliding across is rough then it will have a higher coefficient of friction.
Why does carpet have more friction.
The highest was sandpaper which had a average coefficient of friction of 1 666.
Why does a carpet have more friction than linoleum flooring.
How is friction helpful.
This occurs because there is much more friction between the stack of quarters and the carpet s rough surface than there is between them and the smooth surface of the wood.
This is because there is more friction between the car and carpet than between the car and smooth surface.
Floor surface is smooth and therefore has less friction any rough surface will have greater friction as it also has more surface area and more points of contact to give more resistance to movement.
Typically rough surfaces like brushed concrete or carpet have a higher cof than smooth surfaces like polished marble tile or wood.
Because there is less.
Why does carpet have so much friction answers a carpet has so much friction because it has a coarse surface causing the surface to rub against it and cause friction.

Because you are black.
Slips and falls happen when the coefficient of friction cof between the two surfaces is insufficient.
While the consumer will find this irritating it does not mean that the floor covering is defective.
During periods of low humidity conditions static electricity can be generated walking across a carpet or other floor covering surface.
