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.
What is the meaning of friction?
Friction is the resistance to motion (or tendency to such motion) between two bodies or substances in contact. Friction may either modify motion or entirely prevent it.
How does the friction force help people in walking?
Without friction it would be impossible to stand, you would instantly fall down flat. Without friction it would be impossible to crawl. Without friction the only way it would be possible to move would be by using thruster jets, as they do on spaceships.
What do lugers wear to reduce air friction?
A luger wears a skin tight race suit and smooth boots to reduce air friction. Their helmet is aerodynamic and smooth and it has a visor that extends below the chin to eliminate air pockets.
What would be like to climb a rope without friction?
Without friction - climbing a rope would be impossible !
When does energy causes friction?
when it moves to eliminate friction the energy must be stationary or at absolute zero temp
What happens to friction when you try to get rid of it?
Friction will reduce when you try to get rid of it. But understand that it is impossible to eliminate friction. A world without friction would not function. The wheels on a car would spin in place, without going anywhere. If you tried to take a step forward, you would fall over, and then be unable to get up. Friction is what makes the world operate when it comes to transportation. --AN AP PHYSICS STUDENT
Why is friction useful when using machines?
Just think if friction could not be obtained; your alternator would not charge the battery because the belt slips on the pulley. A car with a clutch would not move because the clutch slips. Friction is advantageous and desirable for some things and not for others. If we could eliminate friction, you would not need much gas to propel your car down the road. If you could not achieve friction with your lover, you would not achieve orgasm.

What was Hitler planning to Do?
Eliminate the Jewish population entirely ; a form of genocide and an attempt to "clean" the society.
Does bacteriosstatics properties eliminate the need for friction in wound care?
Bacteriostatic, which is also known as Bstatic is a chemical that is applied to a wound to prevent the growth of bacteria. The application of this product does eliminate the need for friction with caring for a wound. It safely allows the treatment of the product and minimizes the risk of spreading the infection.
Without friction there would be?
NO friction
What is used in cars to protect the moving parts?
Oil and grease is used to eliminate friction between moving parts.
Is it possible to design a track and the cart never stops in terms of energy?
Not quite. If you manage to significantly reduce friction, it can go on for a very long time, but it is not possible to absolutely eliminate friction.
Can you stop friction?
You can reduce it to a point it is not noticeable but can not eliminate it altogether. You can reduce friction through use of materials with lower coefficient of friction like PTFE or by changing the way the materials contact, say change a sliding one to a rotating one.
Can there be no friction?
It is impossible to have no friction. If there was no friction we would be sliding all over the place, nothing would be balanced.
