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.

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.
