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.

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.
What effect does friction have on a rolling ball?
If there was no friction then the ball would just slide instead of roll
What would happen if there's no friction while you're sliding down a slide?
If there was no friction at all, you would slide down really quickly and land hard on the ground. However, the pain won't be too harsh, because the lack of friction would keep you going even if you're off the slide; you'd be sliding across and right out of the playground!
Why is friction important in everyday life?
Without friction you - and everything else - would simply slide off all the time.
Why wouldn't i be able to pick objects up without friction?
They would slide off from between your fingers. No friction = no grip.

What would happen if a slide had high friction?
If a slide had high friction, it would not function well as a slide. Things would either slow down during their descent or would stop completely (if the coefficient of friction were sufficiently large).You would either stop in mid slide, burn your bottom,or shred the seat of your pants.
What force would help you slide down a slide?
Gravity? the strength of the floor?

What will happen to food if there was no friction?
it would just slide away
Why is a tire rolling on the ground rolling friction?
Friction is the resistance to sliding and as a tire rolls it does resist friction, otherwise it would slide.

How does friction positvely effect baseball?
If it weren't for friction, a baseball would slide off of a bat when it should be hit.

Is there friction at winter?
yes there is friction in winter because without any friction we wouldn't be able to walk and the cars would slide and never brake
When is friction good?
When driving because if there was no friction between the tires and the road, the vehicle would just slide of the road and crash.

They would slide off from between your fingers. No friction = no grip.
