Friction is necessary to move while under the affects of gravity. Try to walk while not touching the ground (ie. hang from something) and you will see what I mean. Walking on ice will show this affect also. With good grip you can move.

Is walking static friction?
Walking is static friction because you do not drag your feet along the ground.
What two sources of friction do you have to overcome when walking?
Gravity pushing you down on the earth and friction from the ground are the two types of friction you have to overcome when walking.
What type of friction is important for walking?
Well it is either static friction or rolling friction
Is friction is a foe?
Friction can be a friend when walking and when driving a car. For example, walking or driving on ice can be very risky due to the lack of friction. Friction can be a foe when it causes more work to have to be done or excess heating. Friction is responsible for our getting blisters on our hands or feet.
What is an example of Friction in the house?
walking on the floor
What are the things that really needed friction?
walking, braking
What are the three forces that are needed for walking?
Friction, Normal Force, & Gravity!

What does walking have to do with science?
Friction
What type of friction is important for walking?

Give examples of why you need friction?
Walking to move forward, same for anything that moves. If there was no friction it would be like walking on oil.
3 ways friction is useful?
It allows you to walk (with out friction between you and the floor this wouldn't be possible) It is needed for braking can be used to produce heat

When walking across a carpet is an example of?
Friction:)

Why does friction act in the direction of your motion when you are walking?
Because your feet are pushing backwards and therefore the friction opposes in the opposite direction which happens to be the direction in which you are walking.
