How is fricton useful?

Friction is useful in everyday life as it allows us to walk, drive vehicles, hold objects, and grip surfaces. It also helps to generate heat, such as in matches or when rubbing our hands together for warmth. In machinery and engineering, controlled friction is essential for ensuring stability, control, and efficiency.


Example of friction in everyday life?

it will be like walking or running without friction u wouldn't be able to do those activities


Describe a situation in which static friction is useful?

Static friction is useful when trying to prevent slipping or sliding of objects on a surface. For example, static friction allows car tires to grip the road, enabling the vehicle to accelerate and stop effectively. This type of friction is crucial for stability and control in various everyday activities.


What are some examples of friction occurring in everyday life?

Some examples of friction occurring in everyday life include: Rubbing your hands together to generate heat. Walking on a rough surface like gravel or sand. Brakes on a car helping it slow down by creating friction between the brake pads and the wheels.


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.
