No. There would be no force being applied to the floor by your foot (friction) so there would be no force from the floor in response pushing your foot forward. According to newton's 3rd law. (every action has an equal and opposite reaction)
No I can't.. No one can.

∙ 12y agoNope. On a frictionless floor you will slide as walking happens due to grip and if there is no friction there will be no grip.as in walking, we push the earth in backward direction and in reaction earth pushes us forward.. if there is no fricion, we cant push earth in backward direction.. we will slip..

∙ 12y agoNo, you cannot "walk". However, there is also no friction force to slow you down, so if you went onto the floor with an initial velocity, you would keep sliding on the floor til you hit the wall.

Why is it difficult to walk on smooth and loose surface?
it is because smooth surfaces have less friction so when friction is less it is hard to walk
Why is it difficult to walk on a smooth floor?
there is no friction in between the floor and your feet especially when you have socks on.
Why is it easier to walk on a carpeted floor than on a smooth floor?
There is more friction, this ensures your feet do not slide
Why is it difficult to walk on a slippery floor?
There may not be enough friction between your feet and the floor. You need friction to be able to exert a force against the floor, to balance yourself and move in the direction you desire.
What force prevents people from sliding when they walk?
Friction. Gravity holds us to the floor, friction keeps us from slipping.
Can you work on friction less floor?
No, We cannot do work on friction less surface
Can you walk friction-less floor?
When you walk it requires a force which is reacted by the floor in opposite direction. With zero friction it is difficult to make any forward progress as no force is reacted, so you cannot walk but will slip.You can try to put foot down always normal to the floor, and you make some progress, but mostly you will be sliding, not walking.

What is a rolling friction?
It is the force of friction exerted on an object which is rolling on the floor ;Example:wheels. It is less than the other types of friction.
What are 3 ways friction is useful?
It allows you to walk (with out friction between you and the floor this wouldn't be possible) It is needed for braking can be used to produce heat
