- Say if you are playing football, the ball would carry on rolling if it wasn't for football.

- It can stop a car, when it brakes are being used.

Negative and positive effects of friction?

friction can cause: 1) Physical wear and tear of moving parts. 2) degradation of materials by continuous friction. 3) wastage of 70% of energy in car engines. However, friction is useful in: 1) walking 2) car brakes, friction between brake pads and Tyre causes car to slow down. 3) techniques like friction welding.


Does friction provide negative acceleration or positive acceleration?

Friction opposes motion. As long as you define the direction in which the object is moving to be positive, the acceleration due to friction will be negative. If you think about it, you start out with positive speed and friction decreases the speed, so adding friction subtracted from the speed. Note: Friction is counterintuitive when you start dealing with rolling without slipping. This answer doesn't address this.


How can friction do positive work in a mechanical system?

Friction can do positive work in a mechanical system by converting kinetic energy into heat energy, which can be useful in certain applications such as braking systems or clutches.


What are the ways on how to overcome the effects of friction in performing task daily activities?

To overcome the effects of friction in daily activities, you can use lubricants such as oil or grease to reduce friction between surfaces. Using proper tools and equipment designed for the task can also help minimize friction. Additionally, maintaining the equipment by cleaning and lubricating it regularly can reduce friction and improve performance.


What does it mean to be counter-friction?

Being counter-friction means to act in opposition or resistance to friction. It involves implementing measures or strategies to counteract the negative effects of friction, such as reducing resistance or increasing efficiency.

What are some bad effects of friction?

Grazing your knees and hands when falling over and sliding on a hard surface is caused by friction with the ground. A spacecraft returning to earth will heat up to red hot due to friction with the atmosphere. These are just two bad effects of friction. But, there are good effects, too. Friction from your vehicle or bicycle brakes will bring you to a stop! Friction from your tyres and the road surface will prevent you from skidding.
