Which are the sports in which friction is not useful?
There is not a sport in which friction is not useful. In hockey, for example, there seems to be no need for friction. However, in order to get moving or stand at all, the players rely of the friction between their skates and the ice. The friction between their skates and the ice also creates a thin layer of water while they skate, allowing them to glide over the ice. even chess relies on friction so the pieces do not move off the board.
How is low friction useful in your life?
Friction can be very useful in your life. You need low friction when you ski. If you have high friction you cannot glide easily on the snow. You can also use low friction when you ice skate. If you have high friction you cant glide across the ice. When you use your laptop your keypad has to be able to glide. Some examples of high friction are erasing with your pencil, rubbing your hands together etc.
What surfaces around the house produce low friction?
the examples of the low friction is ice skitting place i thought i can help u out
Does ice has a higher coefficient of friction than rubber does?
Rubber has more friction than an ice cube. Ice has almost no friction what so ever.
What are some examples of friction occurring in everyday life?
ice skating on ice ,is one friction occurring
What force is weak when you ice skate?
friction i think
How does friction affect the game of hockey?
It affects it because the more you skate on the ice the more marks its makes and with the friction of the puck, it will go faster on fresh ice.
Why is friction not as useful in some winter sports?
Ice skating does not require any friction because the skater needs to glide on the ice and if there was any friction on ice the skater would have trouble to skate smoothly on the ice. That is why ice skating does not require any friction at all from my perspective.
Why do you skate faster on ice than on the street?
because ice surface refers very less friction as compare to roads that is why skating is easy on ice surfaces
How are friction and heat related?
try rubbing your hands together quickly. the heat you feel is an effect of friction. friction occurs when two surfaces rub together.as a result of friction, heat is produced. for example, when a person skates on ice, the ice and skate rub together. this friction gives heat. :)
What kind of friction is acting on the wheels when a car skids on ice?
cold friction
Why is it that when you skate on thin ice you can get in hot water?
When the person keeps the skates on the ice, the ice melts due to the pressure exerted by the weight of the person. This forms a groove in which you can skate. The moment the skate moves ahead, the ice behind solidifies again. Thus, it is possible to skate on ice. I think that it's because when you step onto the you create friction, and friction also heats things up causing the ice to melt below the metal blade. Water is like a lubricant (that is why most hydroslides have a continuous stream of water going down them so you can slide down more easily), so it creates less friction between the blade and the ice allowing you to skate on it. The water soon freezes again.

Could you ice skate on Antarctica?
Can you ice skate in antartica
What is world fastest game basketball or ice hockey?
Handball lol, some guy who has obviously never been to an ice hockey match. Ice Hockey is faster then both handball and basketball. There is no argument. One can skate faster then one can run due to the lack of friction between the skate blade and the ice.
How does no friction help is?
Well, having no friction can be fun. We can Roller~Skate, go down slides and Ice~skate! Theres many other ways - some might be scientific, but I can't name any at this point in time. Thanks for reading, hope it helps! x
