All surfaces have texture, which means it affects how things move over it. When it takes a long time for friction to slow down an object, what is most likely true about the surface the object is moving on? The surface is dry. The surface is rough. The surface is uneven. The surface is smooth.

Answer: D

Explanation: Because if the surface is smooth it causes it to be more even for it to be able to cause Friction

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

All surfaces have texture, which means it affects how things move over it. When it takes a long time for friction to slow down and object, what is MOST LIKELY true about the surface the object is moving on? (A) The surface is dry (B) The surface is rough (C) The surface is uneven (D) The surface is smooth

Answer:

(D) The surface is smooth

Step-by-step explanation:

Friction exists because of relative motion between two surfaces in contact with each other. However the magnitude of friction depends on how rough or smooth the surface is.

For smooth surfaces, there is little or no resistance to motion as objects move over the surface. Hence objects take a longer time to slow down on a smooth surface due to very little friction.

On a rough surface, objects tend to slow down relatively quickly. Hence, less resistance to motion on a smooth surface makes an object to take a longer time to slow down on a smooth surface than on a rough surface.
