Snow decreases the friction between your shoes and ground. That's why cars slide in the winter.
Yes
by increasing the roughness of the ground or increasing the sole of the shoes
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.
Car tires and the road: increasing friction will allow a car to brake faster. Shoes and the ground: increasing friction will make it less likely for you to slip.
INCREASE
The breaks on your car require friction to make the car stop. Friction between the souls of your shoes and the ground keeps you from sliding.
to increase friction
to increase friction
yes it can also reduce friction especially when its slippery, cleats reduce the surface area that are in contact between the shoes and the ground surface?
Sure. When I am running, I need to have good friction between my running shoes and the ground that I am running on, in order to be able to run quickly. A car needs a good level of friction between the tires and the road to drive at a high speed. Otherwise the wheels just spin but the car doesn't move (this can happen when you are stuck in the ice).
different types of shoes that used to increase friction are boot used in soccer
there's friction between saddle and butt, between shoes and pedals, between tire and rim, between tire and ground.
