Why a wheel cannot roll without friction?

Walking would not be impossible, but it would be likened to trying to walk on ice. Friction opposes movement, which can also be translated into traction. The more friction, the more of an opposing force the object will feel. Since ice has no friction, slipping and sliding is a problem to deal with. But since the majority of ground material on Earth has some type of friction, the opposing force that it provides also allows the feet to remain firmly planted on the ground rather than slipping out from underneath.


What is one situation that friction is useful?

Friction plays a vital role in our daily life. Without friction we are handicap.1. It is becomes difficult to walk on a slippery road due to low friction. When we move on ice, it becomes difficult to walk due to low friction of ice.2. We can not fix nail in the wood or wall if there is no friction. It is friction which holds the nail.3. A horse can not pull a cart unless friction furnishes him a secure foothold.


Tell you some apllications of rolling friction?

A wheel is an example of rolling friction. An example of rolling friction would be if you took kyle leary and folled him down a hill. his fat touching the grond would create rolling friction


How does friction help athletes?

Wow, without friction we'd be playing different games, that's for sure. Let's see, runners use the friction between their shoes and the track to impart forward motion to their bodies. Otherwise it would be like running on ice. Soccer players use friction between the air and the soccer ball to bend it like Beckham. As they kick the ball they impart spin and through a process involving friction with the air among other things, the ball will curve. Without friction, pole vaulters would plant their pole and then just slide along it. The friction between their hands and their poles allows them to turn their forward momentum into vertical lift. Friction is what keeps the football in the quarterback's hand until he let's go and it allows the receiver to catch the ball. Friction between the ground and shoe is used again when a Baseball player rounds the bases. Assuming he was moving toward 1st base, without friction he'd slide right past and into the outfield. Friction allows him to plant his foot and turn towards 2nd. I'm sure you can also come up with a dozen different examples just like the ones I've given


Why do your fingers have friction ridges?

Your fingers have friction ridges so that we can grab or catch or even hold things with our fingers. If we did not have these friction ridges then probably we wouldn't be able to hold things without the help of our fingers.

What is impossible without friction?

Walking, running, or any form of movement on a surface would be extremely difficult without friction. Cars would have difficulty stopping or turning without friction between the tires and the road. In general, many everyday activities would be challenging without the presence of friction.


How would life be without friction?

Without friction, it would be difficult to walk, drive, or hold objects in place. Machines would not work efficiently and sports would be very different. Overall, life would be more challenging and less predictable without friction.


Can you drink from a glass without friction?

No, it's not possible to drink from a glass without any friction. Friction is necessary for your lips to grip the glass and create a seal to prevent spillage. Without friction, the glass would slip out of your hands or the liquid would spill.


Is friction usefull in playgrounds?

Friction is fascinating because in so many situations we try to reduce friction, but friction is a necessary force, without which everything would be impossible. Without friction we would all be flat on the floor without any methods of directing our motion. We would randomly collide with things and then continuing moving in another direction. Without friction the slide at the playground would be really fast, but you could never climb the ladder to get on it. The swings would be useless since no one could get into them. So friction is necessary for playgrounds.


Would walking impossible without rolling friction?

Yes it would, thank God for rolling friction


Do you need friction for typing on a keyboard . why?

Because without friction, it would not be successful when typing!


What would happen to your shoelaces if there was no friction?

If there was no friction, your shoelaces would not stay tied, as friction between the laces and knots is what keeps them in place. Without friction, the laces would easily slip and come undone.


Can you drink out of a glass without out friction?

No, drinking out of a glass without any friction would be nearly impossible. Friction between your lips and the glass is necessary to create a seal, allowing you to sip and drink. Without this friction, the glass would slip and make it difficult to maintain contact while drinking.


What happens if there were no friction?

Without friction, objects would have no resistance, therefor loose no energy as a result. For example, without friction a ball could roll up and down a half-pipe continusily without loosing hight.


What would there be without friction?

it would be nearly impossible to stop cuz it is slippery


Can you stand up without friction?

No, it is not possible to stand up without friction. Friction is the force that enables us to maintain stability and prevent slipping when standing or walking. Without friction, there would be no resistance between our feet and the ground, making it impossible to stand up.


Why no building can be build without friction?

Friction provides the necessary force to keep the building materials in place and withstand external forces like wind and earthquakes. Without friction, the structure would not be stable and would be prone to collapse. Friction is crucial for ensuring the integrity and safety of the building.
