What creates more friction: aluminum foil, wax paper, or plastic wrap?
Answer (3)
Aluminum foil creates more friction than wax paper or plastic wrap due to its rough texture. ;
In order of "what creates more friction", the first would be (1) Plastic wrap; (2) Waxed paper and (3) Aluminium foil. Friction is when substances rub against one another and resist. Plastic wrap will create more friction as it will create static when rubbed, waxed paper is drier and aluminium foil the least.
Plastic wrap creates the most friction, followed by wax paper and then aluminum foil, which creates the least friction. This is due to plastic wrap's ability to generate static electricity, while wax paper has a smoother surface than plastic but is still rougher than aluminum foil. Overall, the smoothness and electrical properties influence the friction levels of these materials.
