Can you walk friction-less floor

When you walk it requires a force which is reacted by the floor in opposite direction. With zero friction it is difficult to make any forward progress as no force is reacted, so you cannot walk but will slip.You can try to put foot down always normal to the floor, and you make some progress, but mostly you will be sliding, not walking.

Is force different in a frictionless floor?

Yes, in a frictionless environment, there is no force opposing motion, so objects will continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. This means that less force is required to maintain or change an object's motion on a frictionless floor compared to a floor with friction.


Can a person jump on a frictionless floor?

Yes, a person can jump on a frictionless floor, but the mechanics are different from jumping on a normal surface. On a frictionless floor, the person would not be able to push off effectively, as there would be no friction to provide the necessary force against the ground. Instead, any attempt to jump would result in them sliding rather than gaining vertical height. Thus, a jump would not be successful in the traditional sense.


Can you walk on a friction less floor why?

No. There would be no force being applied to the floor by your foot (friction) so there would be no force from the floor in response pushing your foot forward. According to newton's 3rd law. (every action has an equal and opposite reaction)No I can't.. No one can.

How can a fully dressed person at rest in the middle of a pond on perfectly frictionless ice get to shore?

Take off some clothing to walk on and avoid slipping.


How could a person who is a rest on completely frictionless ice covering a pond reach shore?

Even on 'frictional' ice it is possible to crawl, slide, walk on the ice.


It takes you 60 seconds to walk from the first ground floor of a building to the fourth floor. How long will it take to walk from the first floor to the eighth floor?

It takes 20 seconds for each floor. Therefore, it will take 140 seconds for you to reach the eighth floor.

A basketball rolls to a stop along a gym floor without anyone touching it why did this occur?

The ball rolled to a stop because the opposing force of friction stopped the ball. If the floor had been frictionless, it would have continued without stopping or even slowing.


How do you define a floor?

A floor is the lower horizontal surface in a building or room that people walk on.
