What would happen if there was no such thing as friction?

If there was no friction then we could not walk, we would keep slipping. Nothing would be steady on the ground, many things would be just sliding and sliding. Nothing would exist in the way they do now. You could not pick up a glass with a drink in it, you could not hold a pencil, a leaf, a spear, or your cellphone, and you could not turn a page. It seems unlikely that we could exist at all.


Do fingerprints on a glass produce more friction or less friction?

Does glass have alot of friction What is the order of the amount of friction from sandpaper wood tile carpet and glass?

It doesn't quite work that way. You don't specify the coefficient of friction for "glass", or from "wood", etc.; you specify the coefficient of friction between a PAIR of substances, sometimes also including any substance in between, such as lubricants. For example, you would specify the coefficient of friction:* Between glass and glass (dry) * Between glass and glass (wet) * Between glass and wood * Between wood and wood * Between tiles and leather (this might be interesting, since shoes are often made out of leather) etc.


What causes water to vibrate when you rub your finger on the rim of a glass?

friction between the water and glass


Why is there no friction when two glass pieces are kept together?

There is friction, but comparatively little unless the glass is very clean. Because the glass is not touching over the majority of its surface. Instead trapped air is between the two plates. This massively reduces the coefficient of effective friction. Normally, if glass is clean so that the surfaces can touch, they will "stick together" as they are so flat and friction is so high - ask anyone working with glazing glass - they try never to let two panes touch except at an edge.
