A simple one is on a vehicular race track. We need good-sized tires to get "bite" or "grip" on the surface to race. The F1 circuit features cars that have wide tires. The width of a pair of the rear ones is about half the width of the car. That's where the rubber meets the road, traction, which is friction that is intentionally applied.

What kind of surface would increase friction?
energy
How would you increase the friction on an icy roadway?
I think you can put down cat litter on it. Cat litter can increase the friction of the icy roadway.
How can you reduce and increase friction?
Lubrication to reduce friction. To increase friction step on the brakes.
How can increase friction on a moving object?
by slaiding friction increase
Does surface area have an effect on friction?
Yes greater the surface area coming into contact friction would increase
When might you want to increase friction between two object?
Turning wheels against surfaces would require some amount of friction.
Does a small cross-section increase friction?

Would adding mass increase friction?
no
Would it be better to increase or decrease friction in swimming?
If you want to swim faster, then decreasing friction would help you with that - Less friction means you glide easer through the water. If you want a more efficient workout then increasing friction would help you with that. If you were to put a track suit on before entering the water you'd have to work a lot harder for each lap in the pool.

How to increase friction?
We can increase friction by making the surfaces of the object rough. We can also increase friction by pressing the two objects more strongly.
Why increase friction?
You would increase friction so that you wouldn't slip, by using the brakes on your car of bike you increase friction to stop yourself. Hikers increase friction between their feet and the ground by wearing hiking shoes that grip the ground better. Tires on cars that create more friction make the car go faster, because instead of sliding, the tires grip the ground and push off.
How can friction increased?
Friction increases or decreases based on the surface changes. If a box were sliding down a smooth hill that suddenly becomes quite rough, then friction would increase. It would be the same vice versa for decreasing friction.
