When is low friction useful?
High friction is helpful for traction. For example getting a vehicle moving, making sure it turns on curves, and stopping. Sanding might be another use of high friction. Low friction is helpful for many other things. For example, back to the car, wheels must turn easily, engine parts must turn. Everything runs better and uses less fuel with low friction. Bearings help with lowering the friction. Moving a heavy container from one side of the room to another might be benefited by low friction. You could either slide it... or perhaps pick it up with a low friction handtruck. Ice skating? As we make things move faster, even the friction of air becomes significant. So people choose aerodynamic (or low friction) shapes.
Is sliding got high or low friction?
Low friction is made when you rub smooth surfaces together, and they slide easily. For example, a melting ice cube would easily slide across a glass table because there is low friction. In contrast, high friction is when there is high resisting force. For example, if you rub velcro across a rug, there would be high friction, and it would be more difficult than sliding the ice across the glass table.
What force is an example of a friction?
You walk and that is the example of friction
What are examples of low friction materials?
Some examples of relatively high friction surfaces are: sand paper, grass, and asphalt. In general, the rougher the surface, the more friction it has.
What is 1 example of low friction?
Ice skating is because you dont go fast and there is rarely any friction
An example of two surfaces that have a low coefficient of friction?
human joints are an excellent example. they have a static friction coefficient of .01 μs and a kinectic friction coefficient of .003 μkanother good example would be waxed wood on dry snow (as in a snowboard on a ski slope) this has a static friction coefficient of .04 μsHope this helped!

Describe 3 examples where low friction is not useful?
Friction is very useful but it has its own disadvantages. Friction causes wear and tear. Friction spoils the soles of our shoes. friction reduces speed This is all wrong some not useful types of friction are are when airplanes fly the friction causes heat that materials that will withstand which are costly.

Does a hoover have high or low friction?
it is low friction i think
