Use spiked soles or oversoles. This is what climbers do.

Example of ways increasing friction?

Friction can be increased by reducing the speed of the moving object. Friction can also be increased by increasing the weight of the moving object.


How friction increases with weight?

yes, this is true when anyone increases our weight then no-one can't control oureself .( friction *weight).& increase the force .force is (torque*weight).hence friction increase with weight.


Why is it not advisable to reduce friction?

If friction is zero no one would be able to walk along a street and no vehicles or cars can be driven.


What is the effect of surface area on friction?

The increase in One increases the Other. What alters the friction effects between Surfaces is another matter.


What is the relation of friction on walking?

Yeah! There is a big big big relation of friction with our walking , and even one could not walk if the friction is not present......The reason is that , when we walk on earth, it opposes our motion . What happens there , we try to move forward and the earth tries to let us backward . during this a force known as frictional force or friction is produced due to which we walk. Actually , the friction is produced when a body tries to move over an other body. Many work on the earth are only possible due to the presence of friction.....


What are two ways friction can be increase?

one way is to make the surface rougher and another way is to increase the force pushing the surfaces together.


Why if you increase the angle of the inclined plane the acceleration of the trolley will increase?

If the angle is increased, the tangential component of the weight will increase, while the normal component - the one that causes friction - will decrease.


What materials can prevent friction and which one can increase it?

high friction materials can prevent sliding under high loads or steeps incline.insome situations,adding a libricant actually increases the friction, due to molecular effect.


What are the advantages of fluid friction?

It keeps you from falling down whenever you try to walk. In general, it keeps things still.


When is friction not so useful?

When you drive a car and stop it is because of friction you stopped. If there was no friction your car won't stop and will slide. Friction also helps with waking, if there was no friction with every step you take you would slip. Friction lets your foot stay in one spot while you move the other foot. Ice has no friction so it is hard to walk on and hard to brake on (if driving a car.)


What is the name of an icy satellite of Jupiter?

Europa is one of Jupiter's icy satellites (moons)


When you walk along a foor what pushes you along?

Friction - the force that makes it difficult for one object to slide along the surface of another
