Shoes have a higher amount of friction compared to other surfaces. If shoes did not have high friction, then people would be slipping and falling everywhere. I am sure shoe companies do not want this. But some shoes that do have low friction would be a dance shoe or Bowling shoes, these are often slideing alot so they have lower amount of friction.

Does shoelace have high or low friction?

Shoelaces generally have low friction, making them easier to tie and untie. This low friction allows them to slide through the eyelets of shoes smoothly without getting stuck.


How can low and high friction be useful to us?

Low friction can be useful for reducing wear and tear on machines and improving efficiency in tasks like sliding or rolling. High friction, on the other hand, can be beneficial for providing traction in tires or shoes to prevent slipping and ensure safety in various applications.


If you go sking do you need high or low friction explain?

When skiing, you need low friction to glide smoothly over the snow. High friction would cause you to feel resistance and make it difficult to slide across the surface. A low friction surface allows you to maintain control and move efficiently.


How is low friction useful in your life?

Friction can be very useful in your life. You need low friction when you ski. If you have high friction you cannot glide easily on the snow. You can also use low friction when you ice skate. If you have high friction you cant glide across the ice. When you use your laptop your keypad has to be able to glide. Some examples of high friction are erasing with your pencil, rubbing your hands together etc.


Is friction high or low on ice?

Friction is low on ice because ice has a very smooth surface, which reduces the amount of friction generated when objects slide across it. This is why it can be challenging to walk or drive on icy surfaces compared to other surfaces with higher friction.

How does friction affect shoes?

Low friction is slippery high friction has good traction. In the sport of Curling (gliding those heavy granite stones on ice towards a bullseye) one shoe has low friction (to slide on the ice) the other has high friction (to propel the player).
