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.

List some low friction and not useful?

Oh, dude, low friction and not useful? That's like asking for a list of things that are as exciting as watching paint dry. How about a feather in a vacuum, a sloth on a treadmill, and a banana peel on a frictionless surface? You're welcome for those thrilling suggestions.


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.


Describe 3 examples where low friction is not useful?

Friction is very useful but it has its own disadvantages. Friction causes wear and tear. Friction spoils the soles of our shoes. friction reduces speed This is all wrong some not useful types of friction are are when airplanes fly the friction causes heat that materials that will withstand which are costly.


When is the absence of friction useful?

The absence of friction is useful in situations like ice skating, where low friction allows for smooth gliding. It is also important in space travel, where friction is minimal, enabling spacecraft to move through space without resistance. Additionally, reducing friction in machinery can increase efficiency and reduce wear and tear on components.


When is low friction not useful?

Low friction is not useful in situations where strong traction or grip is required, such as in tires of a car or shoes for certain sports. In these cases, friction is necessary to prevent slipping and provide control.

Is low friction not useful when trying to make a fire?

You want high friction so that the energy lost to friction is converted to heat energy. The greater the friction, the greater the amount of energy coverted to heat (or sparks). So low friction means you will have to rub your two pieces of wood (or whatever you're using) together for much longer. Good luck!

When is low friction useful?

High friction is helpful for traction. For example getting a vehicle moving, making sure it turns on curves, and stopping. Sanding might be another use of high friction. Low friction is helpful for many other things. For example, back to the car, wheels must turn easily, engine parts must turn. Everything runs better and uses less fuel with low friction. Bearings help with lowering the friction. Moving a heavy container from one side of the room to another might be benefited by low friction. You could either slide it... or perhaps pick it up with a low friction handtruck. Ice skating? As we make things move faster, even the friction of air becomes significant. So people choose aerodynamic (or low friction) shapes.
