The impact of material in acceleration in slopes

The smoother the surface of the material, the higher the acceleration would be. If the texture was not smooth, there would be a lot of friction and friction would actually slow you down as it would work against acceleration. That's why dirt would not be a good thing for acceleration, while a polished metal would be great.
