It's a problem, isn't it? *
First, the friction is very low, but not quite zero.
Second, face the nearest bank. If you put your hands on top of the ice and push straight down either you will lift yourself onto the ice, or it will break. Each break will leave you that bit nearer to the bank. If at any stage it doesn't break you are out.

What kind of friction is ice skate?
Ice skates experience kinetic friction when in contact with the ice. This type of friction occurs when two surfaces are sliding against each other. Kinetic friction helps provide the necessary grip for ice skating.
Does ice has a higher coefficient of friction than rubber does?
Rubber has more friction than an ice cube. Ice has almost no friction what so ever.
How much friction would an ice skater make?
An ice skater would make very little friction on ice due to the low coefficient of friction between the ice and the blades of the skates. This allows the skater to glide smoothly across the ice with minimal resistance.
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.
Do ice and friction create any energy?
When ice melts due to friction, energy is converted from mechanical energy into thermal energy. Friction between the ice and another surface generates heat, causing the ice to melt and absorb energy in the process.

What has less friction a sponge or an ice cube?
An ice cube has less friction than a sponge
What are factors that affecting friction?
ice can affect friction
What has little and what has lots of friction?
Ice has little friction. Sandpaper has lots of friction.
Is ther an outdoor waterpark in Lake Neppessing or Lapeer Michigan?
no there is not its just a lake with great fishing. Theres a private club on the opposite side of the lake and no theres not a waterpark in lapeer theres a recreational center and a outdoor water park in metamora
Why is friction not as useful in some winter sports?
Ice skating does not require any friction because the skater needs to glide on the ice and if there was any friction on ice the skater would have trouble to skate smoothly on the ice. That is why ice skating does not require any friction at all from my perspective.
Does ice has a higher coefficient of friction than rubber does?
Rubber has more friction than an ice cube. Ice has almost no friction what so ever.
How much friction would an ice skater make?
An ice skater would make very little friction on ice due to the low coefficient of friction between the ice and the blades of the skates. This allows the skater to glide smoothly across the ice with minimal resistance.
Which sport requires high and low friction?
Hockey. Low friction when the player is gliding down the ice. High friction when he is propelling himself down the ice.
What is 1 example of low friction?
Ice skating is because you dont go fast and there is rarely any friction
Which lake remains in a liquid from although it is covered with ice?
A lake which remains in a liquid form although it is covered with ice is called an ice covered lake.
Does friction and motion occur at the same time?
Yes, Theres no way that there could be friction without the object moving
