Yes, friction is useful to ships because it helps them maintain control and stability as they move through water. Friction between the ship's hull and the water creates resistance, which allows the ship to steer and stop effectively. Additionally, friction helps prevent the ship from sliding or skidding on the water's surface.

Yes, friction is useful in playgrounds because it helps to provide grip and prevent slipping on surfaces such as slides, swings, and climbing structures. This helps to improve safety and stability for children playing in the playground.
False. Friction typically reduces the efficiency of a machine by converting some of the input energy into heat, rather than converting it into mechanical energy.
Sandpaper is high in friction but is not considered useful in terms of being helpful in a general sense.
stopping cars Friction is useful to start a fire with sticks.
False
Brakes are meant to have a lot of friction and it's useful.

the friction from pushing the hull through the water is not useful as long as you're travelling.
It can be useful when a ball is catching
how does friction help car tyres?
Yes and no. In order to go faster, a ship must reduce its air and water friction as much as possible, as friction force acts in the opposite direction as motion, ie slows the object down. However, it is friction that allows the propulsion system to 'push' the ship forward. This deals more with viscosity, which is *like* the friction of a liquid. In sailboats, it is the friction with the air that propels the ship.Because friction is related to the area of contact and the vector of the velocity, it is ideal to have the least amount of surface area facing to the direction of motion, which is why most ships have a Vshape in the front.
