you strike the match
Strike it on a match box.
i believe it is a

the friction of the match causes the chemicals inside the match head to ignite...in cause as long as there is oxygen in the room the match will light as quick as you strike the match....in other words...the match only lights as fast as you can strike it
A match needs a certain amount of force to ignite because the friction created by striking it generates enough heat to light the match head. If you don't strike it hard enough, there may not be sufficient friction to create the necessary heat for ignition.
The source of activation energy that ignites a strike-anywhere match is friction between the match head and the matchbox, which creates enough heat to ignite the match head. When you strike the match against the rough surface on the matchbox, the friction generates heat that is sufficient to initiate the chemical reaction in the match head, leading to ignition.
there like strike anywhere matches where you can strike them on anything that creates friction.
A mach which usually has a different colored tip. the tip is sulfur which is the oxidiser for the phosphorus in the match. Which allows you to strike it on any rough surface. regular matches the sulfur is in the sandpaper you strike it on.
The falling piano was next seen to strike the pavement.
Yes because you are not actually hitting the match, just rubbing it sharply against the sandpaper.
