When is friction useful?

Friction is useful in various ways, such as enabling us to walk and grip objects. It is crucial for vehicles to move on roads and for machines to operate effectively. Friction also helps in slowing down moving objects and preventing slipping or sliding.


What is an example of not useful friction?

An example of not useful friction is the friction between the tires of a car and the road surface when trying to accelerate. This friction wastes energy in the form of heat and wears down both the tires and the road, without serving a beneficial purpose in this context.


Describe a situation in which static friction is useful?

Static friction is useful when trying to prevent slipping or sliding of objects on a surface. For example, static friction allows car tires to grip the road, enabling the vehicle to accelerate and stop effectively. This type of friction is crucial for stability and control in various everyday activities.


Where can friction can be both useful and unwanted?

Friction can be useful in car brakes to slow down or stop a vehicle safely. On the other hand, friction can be unwanted between moving parts in machinery, as it can cause wear and reduce efficiency.


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.)

When Is Friction Useful and When Is Friction Not Useful?

Friction is useful when you are trying to stop a car, but not useful in the pistons of a car's engine (It makes them less efficient).


What is useful friction?

there is friction in your cars brake system and without that frictiuon there your car would roll away whenever it was on a hill so this is a good example of when friction is useful.

Is friction only usful for a car when it is slowing down?

No. Friction is useful every time there is a change to how the car is moving. Getting it moving, getting it to turn as well as getting it to slow down.


When is friction useful to us?

fricton is useful in many many ways: help in protecting from slipping protect the car from sliding due to friction you can make fire from rubbing two stones. etc......... etc....
