Why is it vital to have the wheels on a roller coaster to have low friction?
Low friction is very desirable for something such as a roller coaster car, that is intended to move very fast. Friction would slow it down, and would also generate a lot of heat, which might become so extreme as to start a fire. Wheels are not really the only option for friction reduction. For example, magnetic levitation gives even lower friction than wheels do. But it's too expensive a technique to use for a roller coaster.
