Is friction beneficial?

When you're really cold.


How can the force of friction be beneficial?

If there was no friction, nothing would come to a stop. Everything you touch, and every move you make, would continue and build momentum (speed).


Is friction is always benificial yes or no why?

Ways that friction are beneficial: Standing - Friction allows you to stay in position instead of moving around even when you do not want to Braking of cars - Similarly, friction makes it possible to make a car stop Ways that friction is nuisance: Wear and tear - Friction produces heat, which would flatten shoe soles, smoothing the gears or other mechanics in machineries


How is friction beneficial and detrimental?

Although friction slows many things down, and makes machines less efficent, we would have a hard time if there was no friction. Your shoelaces would not stay tied- but that would not matter, since you could not walk if your feet had no friction with the ground- nor could you drive a car- which would be good, since the brakes would not work. You would probably starve since you could not pick up a drink, or food.


Why is it beneficial to let a burned area be exposed to air?

If the skin of the burned area is unbroken and it is not likely to be further irritated by pressure or friction, the burn should be left exposed to the air to promote healing.


How can you decrease the friction between your hands and a piece of equipment?

I am not sure if you would want to decrease the friction on your hands, because in the case of using a screwdriver, for example, the friction causes your hand not to slip. However, in a situation where it may be beneficial to reduce friction, anything from sweaty palms to greasy palms would work. (they reduce the frictional coefficient) As an alternative, since frictional force is F = mu * N, you can also reduce F by reducing N (the normal or perpendicular force). In other words, if you want to decrease the friction, don't hold the piece of equipment as tightly.


What are the 2kinds of friction?

Static Friction and Kinetic Friction. Static Friction is what friction that slows you down. While Kinetic friction is sliding friction.


Which friction has least value option sliding friction static friction rolling friction Air friction?

i think it it rolling friction


What do lubricants do to friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction?

Lubricants reduce friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction.


Which friction is greater sliding friction or static friction?

Static friction


Which force is weakened when the floor is wet?

Friction is reduced on a wet floor.


What are the kinds of friction?

the kinds of friction are dry friction,fluid friction,lubricated friction,skin friction and internal friction. 80409e2d-12a3-4f5b-ba94-08ddbe6232dc 1.03.01
