Friction is very useful but it has its own disadvantages. Friction causes wear and tear. Friction spoils the soles of our shoes. friction reduces speed
This is all wrong some not useful types of friction are are when airplanes fly the friction causes heat that materials that will withstand which are costly.

What is one situation that friction is useful?
Friction plays a vital role in our daily life. Without friction we are handicap.1. It is becomes difficult to walk on a slippery road due to low friction. When we move on ice, it becomes difficult to walk due to low friction of ice.2. We can not fix nail in the wood or wall if there is no friction. It is friction which holds the nail.3. A horse can not pull a cart unless friction furnishes him a secure foothold.
The efficiency of the wedge is low because of?
friction or The mechanical advantage is greater for thinner wedges. However, the efficiency is low because of the large amount of friction.
An example of two surfaces that have a low coefficient of friction?
human joints are an excellent example. they have a static friction coefficient of .01 μs and a kinectic friction coefficient of .003 μkanother good example would be waxed wood on dry snow (as in a snowboard on a ski slope) this has a static friction coefficient of .04 μsHope this helped!
How does friction with the atmosphere affect the speed of an artificial satellite?
Satellites in a low orbit, however, are slowed by friction with Earth's atmosphere.
2 ways that friction can be used in a structure?
Friction is important for all sports. Without it it becomes really hard to accelerate For example a 100m sprinter. It would be great for him if there wasnt any air resistance (as long as he can breath). But he needs friction on the floor to push himself forward. However friction is less useful in hockey, skiing, and almost all types of boarding(snowboarding, wakeboarding, kneeboarding,
How is low friction useful in your life?
Friction can be very useful in your life. You need low friction when you ski. If you have high friction you cannot glide easily on the snow. You can also use low friction when you ice skate. If you have high friction you cant glide across the ice. When you use your laptop your keypad has to be able to glide. Some examples of high friction are erasing with your pencil, rubbing your hands together etc.

What surfaces around the house produce low friction?
the examples of the low friction is ice skitting place i thought i can help u out
What are two examples of two surfaces that have a low coefficient of friction?
Ice and glass both have very low coefficients of friction because they are very smooth, so it is easier for a substance to glide over them.
When is low friction not useful?
In many ways! For example it allows you to walk, if it wasn't for friction, trying to walk anywhere would be like trying to walk across an ice rink but worse, it would be impossible! It is also useful when driving a car, when trying to stop. It helps us to write, to drive nails and screws into materials,to sharpen tools etc..
Is low friction not useful when trying to make a fire?
You want high friction so that the energy lost to friction is converted to heat energy. The greater the friction, the greater the amount of energy coverted to heat (or sparks). So low friction means you will have to rub your two pieces of wood (or whatever you're using) together for much longer. Good luck!
What is low and high friction inside the house?
I assume you are looking for examples. Low friction: drawer-slides, door-hinges, water flowing through the pipes. High friction: carpet pile, some types of window catch so the casement stays where set.
Does a hoover have high or low friction?
it is low friction i think
What are examples of low friction materials?
Some examples of relatively high friction surfaces are: sand paper, grass, and asphalt. In general, the rougher the surface, the more friction it has.
When is low friction useful?
High friction is helpful for traction. For example getting a vehicle moving, making sure it turns on curves, and stopping. Sanding might be another use of high friction. Low friction is helpful for many other things. For example, back to the car, wheels must turn easily, engine parts must turn. Everything runs better and uses less fuel with low friction. Bearings help with lowering the friction. Moving a heavy container from one side of the room to another might be benefited by low friction. You could either slide it... or perhaps pick it up with a low friction handtruck. Ice skating? As we make things move faster, even the friction of air becomes significant. So people choose aerodynamic (or low friction) shapes.
In what way is friction used on shoes and some examples?
In the sport of Curling (gliding those heavy granite stones on ice towards a bullseye) one shoe has low friction (to slide on the ice) the other has high friction (to propel the player).
Jack is going skiing does he need high or low friction between his skis and the snow?
low friction
