by increasing the roughness of the ground or increasing the sole of the shoes

The amount of friction depends on what?
Friction depends on the surface that the object is going against. If an applied force is used to push a box on a ground, the friction is the surface of the ground, may the ground be rough or smooth, there is a force that goes against the applied force. Air friction is also a type of friction that many physics question does not account for, because it is a virtually small force.
How does friction affect the movement of a scooter?
there could be friction inside the motor. there is friction on the wheels of the scooter and the ground. there is air friction when you move on a scooter.
Why is it easier to pull a box in a wagon than to drag it on the ground?
I have the same question omg I don’t know how to answer
How does friction apply to running?
It slows your speed down every time your feet touch the ground.
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,
Does snow increase friction between your shoes and the ground?
Snow decreases the friction between your shoes and ground. That's why cars slide in the winter.
Do snow increase the friction between your shoes and the ground?
Yes
Why increase friction?
You would increase friction so that you wouldn't slip, by using the brakes on your car of bike you increase friction to stop yourself. Hikers increase friction between their feet and the ground by wearing hiking shoes that grip the ground better. Tires on cars that create more friction make the car go faster, because instead of sliding, the tires grip the ground and push off.
What is an example of reducing friction is important in the moving parts of machinery?
friction is a force which opposes the direction of the movement of a certain body. reducing the friction between moving parts will lead to an increase of acceleration or speed of that particularly body.
List and Explain 2 reasons why you might increase friction between two objects?
Car tires and the road: increasing friction will allow a car to brake faster. Shoes and the ground: increasing friction will make it less likely for you to slip.
What causes a ball to stop rolling?
the friction and the motion of the ball both combined
What would happen if there was no friction between a rolling ball and the ground?
no
Why does a snail go slower on dirt?
because of friction between the slime and dirt compared to the friction between slime and any other ground
What is the cause of the static charge in a car?
friction between the tires and the ground.
Can friction can increase speed?
Sure. When I am running, I need to have good friction between my running shoes and the ground that I am running on, in order to be able to run quickly. A car needs a good level of friction between the tires and the road to drive at a high speed. Otherwise the wheels just spin but the car doesn't move (this can happen when you are stuck in the ice).
Example of where you need friction?
The breaks on your car require friction to make the car stop. Friction between the souls of your shoes and the ground keeps you from sliding.
Do airplanes have any friction?
Yes. Airplanes experience drag from the air when in flight and friction from the ground when they are taxiing. There is also friction between parts in the plane.
