Is friction high or low on ice?
low
How does friction effects peed on a skateboard?
I hope you mean speed, if not I'm at a loss for words. Friction effects both the contact between the wheels and the ground, as well as your shoe and the grip tape. You would like a high coefficient of static friction between the ground and your wheels so you don't end up skidding, fishtailing, and later flat-out falling down. Also, you would want a medium-level coefficient of kinetic friction and possible a medium-high coefficient of static friction between the grip tape and your shoe in order to grip the board, yet still be able to slide your foot for flip tricks. If the coefficient of static friction between the grip tape and your board is too high, it won't flip properly as it might overflip or flip on an unusual axis if it were to be too low. As you use the grip tape, both coefficients will decrease because the grains on the grip tape will be smaller and easier to pass over with a lesser repelling force of friction.

Why do you need low friction when skiing?
because you need to slide down the hill....?
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.

Friction is high on a carpet.
Is a door handle high or low friction?
low
Which sport requires high and low friction?
Hockey. Low friction when the player is gliding down the ice. High friction when he is propelling himself down the ice.
