You will need two components that both contain measurable mass to collide/move against each other, which will cause a kinetic energy transfer

When do we want a lot of friction?

We want a lot of friction when we need to slow down or stop objects in motion, like when braking a car or walking on a slippery surface. More friction provides more resistance to movement, helping to prevent sliding or slipping.


Do you want to reduce friction when you are sitting on a park bench?

Normally you would not want to do so. If there was no friction, you would slip right off the bench onto the ground. You need some friction in order to stay in one place.


Is friction always something we want reduce?

NO!You very much need to increase friction between car tires and the road surface in winter. Accumulated snow and ice can already reduce friction there to the point that stopping and steering the car becomes impossible leading to many severe and occasionally fatal accidents.Vehicle brakes also need as much friction as possible to efficiently stop the vehicle when needed.Sandpaper and other abrasives depend on friction to smooth and clean surfaces.etc.


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.


When to decrease friction?

if you mean how to: to decrease friction you just need to for example make the two planes as plane as posible, no rough things to go agenst and slow it down, cars need to do just that.not in the ground to weel but weel to the rest of the car exept the engine.so when to do so, is in a car or some thing that need to move. and you dont want to lift it

What does friction help create that you need or want?

it helps u slow down in a car and go faster


Where is friction needed in a backhoe loader?

You would need friction between the tires or tracks and the dirt the tractor is sitting. If you have extended legs, you need friction between the pads and the ground. You would want friction in the brakes. A clutch also relies on friction. Technically you could "dig water", but if you are trenching, then one needs friction between the dirt particles. It is also handy to have friction in your seat, steps, and controls.


Jack is going skiing does he need high or low friction between his skis and the snow?

low friction


Do you want more or less fluid friction while swimming?

You want less friction. Then you will go faster.

What speed does an object have to go to break free of the atmosphere?

If you want it to get away from Earth's gravitational field, the object would need a speed of 11.2 km/sec - obviously not considering energy lost by friction with the atmosphere.If you want it to get away from Earth's gravitational field, the object would need a speed of 11.2 km/sec - obviously not considering energy lost by friction with the atmosphere.If you want it to get away from Earth's gravitational field, the object would need a speed of 11.2 km/sec - obviously not considering energy lost by friction with the atmosphere.If you want it to get away from Earth's gravitational field, the object would need a speed of 11.2 km/sec - obviously not considering energy lost by friction with the atmosphere.

In the bearings, where you want as little friction as possible.
