When the wheels of a car turn, friction causes the wheels to push back on the road, which in turn causes the road to push the car forward. Without friction the wheels would just spin in place. You can sometimes see this occur on icy roads, where there is very little friction.

Can you pick up apple without friction?
no. because if their was not fritction no one could move

How is friction important in your lives?
when you walk; wheels roll to move cars; you grasp something in your hand; cars brake; these are all because of friction. Really there are advantages of friction.
How is friction usefull?
Walking requires friction. Cars and bikes could not move without a frictional force between their wheels and the road. If you wrap a rope around a pole several times, you can use friction to your advantage (eg. suspension of a large mass). There are other reasons but I'm not going to go into any more detail.
What does reducing mass and friction improve on a co2 car?
by reducing the mass you reduce the friction, and by reducing the friction reduce the fuel needed to move the car, this applies to all cars not only CO2 cars.
Why is friction important for road safety?
Friction is the force that makes it possible to stop a car - a friction between wheels and road surface is a stopping force there. Also, friction is necessary for maneuvering - if the wheels slipped, you wouldn't be able to make a turn.
Why are cars streamlined?
Streamlining helps the cars reduce friction, which makes them have better gas mileage and be able to move faster.
How do cars move without gas?
make it electric cars
What does traction do for a car?
Traction is, at its essence, friction. It gives the tires grip, allowing the vehicle to move. Allowing it to accelerate, brake and corner. Without it(like on ice) you wouldn't have control of the car and it could spin out, slide off the road or run into of cars.
How does friction does affect your daily lives?
Walking on the ground. Car motion on the ground. Driving belts of the engines. Stopping of vehicles with friction pads. Get seated and secure in a car when it stops without hitting the windscreen. and a lot more. Friction between tyre and the road allows cars to move forward and stay on the road, as well as the friction between your feet and the floor allows you to move. Friction between break pads and wheels allows cars to break. Friction causes objects to lose energy through heat, ie when parts of a motor rub together.
What does a wheel and axel do?
it makes things move without friction
How does friction help?
If there was no friction the vehicles would never stop, we couldn't write on the board as friction makes chalk writing visible. Without friction no building could be constructed, the vehicles on the road would never move. Friction helps a lot in many ways and is a necessary in our life.
