Why do climbers wear rubber-soled shoes?
To reduce friction.
Why mountain climbers wear rubber soled shoes?
To reduce friction
Where does she need high friction when climbing?
So she can reach faster
What is one way to increase friction on an icy walk?
Use spiked soles or oversoles. This is what climbers do.
Do mountain climbers eliminate friction to overcome gravity to keep from falling?
Nope - they use friction to stop themselves from falling ! The various pegs, clamps etc rely on friction to hold them in place.
How does friction affect rock climbers?
Friction affects rock climbers by allowing them to effectively grasp the rocks that they are trying to climb. Without friction, the rock climbers' hands would just slip off the rocks, causing them to inevitably fall to their deaths. Thank you that is close to what I was thinking. What would be another exmaple of how friction affects rock climbers? Thank you so much.
Where do you need high friction in climbing?
You need high friction so your feet and hands don't slip.
Jill is climbing where does she need high friction?
On her feet and hands. That is why they build climbing shoes from sticky rubber. Her belay partner will need friction in their belay device (ATC OR GRI GRI, etc)

When high friction is not useful in daily life?
you will need it when you push a trolley.
When climbing where do you need high friction?
You need high friction on your climbing shoes when making contact with the rock surface, especially on small holds or slippery surfaces. High friction helps you to maintain grip and stability while ascending the rock face.
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.
