This type of friction is called lubricated friction. Lubricated friction is a type of fluid friction where a fluid separates two solid surfaces.

Why do you tend to slip on a wet floor?
because of friction
Can water stop friction?
Normally you can't stop friction alltogether, but water can certainly reduce friction considerably. Did you ever slip on a wet floor? This is because the friction is much less than usual.
What places need friction?
If you were roller-skating you don't need friction because it slows you down. Well you want friction between the wheels and the floor (so you do not slip sideways) but not between the wheel and the axel (thats why you have ball bearings there to reduce rolling friction). If you are ice skating you do not want friction between the blade of your skates and the ice.
Why do you need friction on a surfboard?
Without friction, your feet would just slip right off.
Is friction useful?
yes friction is very useful because it help objects not to slide or slip
Why do you tend to slip on a wet floor?
because of friction
Why do sport shoes have the most friction?
So you have good grip on the floor and do not slip!
What happens when you slip on a wet floor?
You lose balance, then with the help of friction, you glide across the floor. There also may be an injury
Why is it easy to slip on a wet floor?
because the water reduces friction between the surface you are standing on, and your feet.

Is friction always bad cite at least?
No friction is not always bad. In fact consider an example of running on wet floor. If there is too little friction it might cause you to slip and slide.
Why is it easy to slip on a floor that's wet?
because the water reduces friction between the surface you are standing on, and your feet.
Why can people slip on ice?
I read that people slip on ice because of the interplay between static and kinetic friction, I hope this helps : )

Why is it easy to slip on a floor that is wet?
The puddle changes the coefficient of friction of the floor. Therefore it becomes more slippery.There are ways to control or change the COF of a floor surface with specialized floor treatments which will make the area much more safe and prevent slip and falls.
What can you do with no friction?
an object would slip and slid
Why do you slip on a muddy road?
lack of friction?
