Water can absorb friction because it's wet and slippery. When things are dry, there nothing slippery or wet to absorb the friction, so the friction becomes stronger.
Yes, friction is useful on a slide because it helps to slow you down and prevent you from sliding too quickly or uncontrollably. It also provides enough grip for you to stay on the slide without slipping off.
No, a box will not be able to slide on a smooth floor with no friction. In the absence of friction, there would be no force to overcome the box's inertia and initiate its motion. Without friction, the box would remain stationary.
You would likely move faster down a waterside due to the reduced friction from the water acting as a lubricant between your body and the slide surface, compared to a regular slide where friction between your body and the slide surface slows you down.
No, sliding without friction is not possible. Friction is necessary for objects to slide against each other. Without friction, there would be nothing to oppose the relative motion of the surfaces in contact, causing them to stick together or slide uncontrollably.
When objects move through fluids, they have to overcome the friction acting on them, due to which they lose energy. So, efforts are made to minimize the friction. For this, the objects are given special shapes. As we know, birds and fishes have to move about in fluids all the time. Their bodies must have evolved to shapes which would make them lose less energy in overcoming friction. Such shapes are called streamlined shapes. This is the reason ships and aeroplanes are given a streamlined shapes so that minimum energy is lost while moving through water and air respectively.

If a slide had high friction, it would not function well as a slide. Things would either slow down during their descent or would stop completely (if the coefficient of friction were sufficiently large).You would either stop in mid slide, burn your bottom,or shred the seat of your pants.

Gravity? the strength of the floor?
it would just slide away
Friction is the resistance to sliding and as a tire rolls it does resist friction, otherwise it would slide.
If it weren't for friction, a baseball would slide off of a bat when it should be hit.
Without friction you - and everything else - would simply slide off all the time.

If there was no friction at all, you would slide down really quickly and land hard on the ground. However, the pain won't be too harsh, because the lack of friction would keep you going even if you're off the slide; you'd be sliding across and right out of the playground!
