Want this question answered?
What will be the charge if you scrape electrons from your feet while scuffing across the rug?
i dont know heheh
All surfaces that come into contact with each other generate friction. The magnitude of the friction depends on the specific properties the two surfaces. General rule: smooth surface --> less friction. But this fails sometimes too.
usually by wearing socks while scuffing ones feet on wool carpet will accumulate static charge, this static electricity can be used to 'zap' friends and co-workers. Alternatively, nervous system issues (particularly low acetylcholine levels, NOT recommended to be artificially altered) can allow one to accumulate a disproportionate level of charge before on discharges.
It depends more on the amount of energy present, not the voltage. Scuffing your feet across a carpet and touching a metal doorknob produces thousands of volts, but it barely hurts you because there's only enough charge for an arc of very short duration.

actually volleyball has alot to do with friction. when you are getting ready to hit the ball there is friction between the floor and your feet. then, when you hit the ball there is friction between your feet and the floor but also between your hands and the ball. now is the ball goes low and you hit it you would be using alot of friction because there would be friction between your body and the floor, the volley ball and your hands and maybe the ball and the floor. hope this answers your question!
it were a dry winter day

The best way to stop a walker from damaging the flooring is to put tennis balls on the feet. This helps to smooth the feet of the walker.
because ice is slippery and we dont have control on our feet. it cannot hold our body weight. it has less friction.

Friction? Gravity?

Without friction, your feet would just slip right off.
Walking is static friction because you do not drag your feet along the ground.
