I WONDER - What Is Friction?

Friction occurs when two objects rub against each other, opposing motion. The level of friction depends on the materials and roughness of the surfaces involved. A rougher surface produces more friction. For instance, a bowling ball rolls further on a wooden floor than on a carpet due to less friction on the wood.
