Friction is in the contact made by the water and what ever it makes physical contact with.
Gravity causes the direction in which the water slides.

Is friction useful when you are on a slide?
if there was no friction on a slide, you would gain speed and slide off and depending on the slide (such as a water slide) kill yourself. too much friction makes it boring.
When do you need a little friction?
You need a little friction when you are going down a water slide and much more
How can you reduce the amount of friction on a slide?
One of the things you could do is you could put soap and water on the slide.
If a water slide was dry how would the friction be different?
Water can absorb friction because it's wet and slippery. When things are dry, there nothing slippery or wet to absorb the friction, so the friction becomes stronger.
Why do you slide down a slide faster with a plastic slide?
There is usually less friction from a smooth plastic mat than between clothing and the slide, but it depends on the material. Most dry cotton fabrics will slide fairly easily.On *water slides* these mats are used because bare skin will not slide very smoothly compared to non-porous materials.
What forces are acting on you when you slide down a water slide What type of friction is present If the water slide was dry?
fluid friction

How can friction on a slide be reduced?
Water is as far as it goes.

What force is involved when ice is put into water?
Gravity
What is the advantage of a wet slide?
A well slide is a slide with one or more depressions in it, usually used for viewing marine life.
When do steams deposit sediments?
When gravity and friction overcome the ability of the moving water to move them.
What is the main force in nature that causes water to flow?
Is it momentum friction electricity or gravity
What are some examples external forces?
gravity air resistance water resistance friction
