Will a smooth surface like wax paper, increase or decrease the force of friction?

decrease

this means something ridged will INCREASE the force of friction

describe the energy transfers that happen when a hair dryer is turned on

electrical energy is changed into mechanical, which makes the motor in the hair dryer move 

yes, heat is involved but the electrical has to MOVE the fan on the inside.

How can I slow down the process created within a compost pile? 

lower surrounding temperatures

make a smaller pile

turn the pile over

introduce worms

lower surrounding temperature

*think mashed potatoes--if I put them in the fridge they will cool down making the inside cool down....we want a compost pile to heat up to break things down*
