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 else can I help you with?
What are five examples of friction being increased?
~Putting chains on truck tires in the snow ~Rubbing your hands together ~Car Brakes ~Race Cars have special tires to increase traction and friction ~When you walk it's friction that keeps you from sliding all over the place
What shape has the most friction and why?
You would want to maximize area of contact, and for air friction you would want to maximise the area facing the wind, or direction of motion, Either way the most friction is had from a sheet, provided it can be kept in the right orientation.
If there was no friction what would that do to mechanical advantage and how would it affect efficiency?
Without friction, some forms of mechanical advantage do not function. In most cases for a mechanical apparatus, a reduction in friction is usually accompanied by an increase in efficiency.
How can friction be reduced or if its helpful what can be done increase the friction?
Friction can be reduced by using lubricants like oil or grease on surfaces. To increase friction, surfaces can be roughened or materials with higher coefficients of friction can be used. Adjusting the weight or pressure between the surfaces can also increase friction.
What activities would you want less friction?
Activities like driving, exercising, and collaborating with others would benefit from less friction.
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?
i want the answer nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
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 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.
How could you increase friction on an icy road?
you could place salt on the icy areas to increase friction because the ice would began to melt.

What would happen if a ramp were coated with a smoother surface the ramps efficiency would?
The answer is : Increase because friction would decrease.
