Friction is important for all sports.

Without it it becomes really hard to accelerate

For example a 100m sprinter.

It would be great for him if there wasnt any air resistance (as long as he can breath).

But he needs friction on the floor to push himself forward.

However friction is less useful in hockey, skiing, and almost all types of boarding(Snowboarding, wakeboarding, kneeboarding,

Give the ways of increasing and reducing friction?

Ways to increase friction include using rough surfaces, increasing the weight of an object, and using materials with high coefficients of friction. Ways to reduce friction include using lubricants, smoothing surfaces, and using ball bearings or wheels to reduce direct contact between surfaces.

What 2 ways can friction between 2 surfaces increase?

Friction between two surfaces can increase due to an increase in the roughness of the surfaces or an increase in the normal force pressing the surfaces together. Additionally, an increase in the surface area of contact between the surfaces can also lead to an increase in friction.
