From this we must establish the knowledge that FRICTION OPPOSES motion, therefor the skiier will be kept at a certain speed (not super fast). so in saying that, without friction, there is no FORCE stopping you or somewhat restricting you so you would be going at a very fast speed unless you input direct stop force, otherwise there would be no common force in keeping you going at a certain speed. In the end friction will cause an object to stop if the object has lost momentum or is losing mometum, thus deceleration can be seen from this.
therefore friction affects skiing by providing a OPPOSING force which will retrict the overall maximum speed a skiier can reach without the presence of applying manual force.

∙ 14y agoAnswer: Ice has a very low coefficient of friction, so the resistive force is much lower.
Fr = μN
where:
- Fr is the resistive force of friction
- μ is the coefficient of friction for the two surfaces (Greek letter "mu")
- N is the normal or perpendicular force pushing the two objects together
- μN is μ times N

Which are the sports in which friction is not useful?
There is not a sport in which friction is not useful. In hockey, for example, there seems to be no need for friction. However, in order to get moving or stand at all, the players rely of the friction between their skates and the ice. The friction between their skates and the ice also creates a thin layer of water while they skate, allowing them to glide over the ice. even chess relies on friction so the pieces do not move off the board.
What helps a bike to stop friction or gravity?

More advantages of friction?
friction helps us to move
What places need friction?
If you were roller-skating you don't need friction because it slows you down. Well you want friction between the wheels and the floor (so you do not slip sideways) but not between the wheel and the axel (thats why you have ball bearings there to reduce rolling friction). If you are ice skating you do not want friction between the blade of your skates and the ice.
How does friction helps you?
Friction causes you to be able to stand without falling. It also helps you walk, run, speed up, slow down, etc.
Why does roller skates have small wheels?
Small wheels have little rolling friction and helps to move faster in Skates
What Wilt Chamberlain childhood?
he flew with pigs whjile eatin a peanut butter sandwich. his favorite food was cheese. he hated rollar skates.
What causes some of the potential energy of a moveing rollar coster to be converted to thermal energy?
Friction on the tracks of the ride.
What can a person have as an entertainment other than music and movie and games?
Try sports. Edit: Read, sports, buy a basket ball net, a bike, rollar skates, a trampoline or something.

What is coefficient of friction..?
A higher coefficient of friction indicates that two surfaces in contact have a greater resistence. A lower coefficient of friction indicates that the two surfaces in contact have less resistence. Soccer cleats on grass have a greater coefficient of friction than skates on ice.
What is friction coefficient?

How are friction and heat related?
try rubbing your hands together quickly. the heat you feel is an effect of friction. friction occurs when two surfaces rub together.as a result of friction, heat is produced. for example, when a person skates on ice, the ice and skate rub together. this friction gives heat. :)
