Low friction is made when you rub smooth surfaces together, and they slide easily. For example, a melting ice cube would easily slide across a glass table because there is low friction. In contrast, high friction is when there is high resisting force. For example, if you rub velcro across a rug, there would be high friction, and it would be more difficult than sliding the ice across the glass table.

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.

Hockey. Low friction when the player is gliding down the ice. High friction when he is propelling himself down the ice.


What kind fo friction will a car skidding on an icy road show?

A car skidding on an icy road will exhibit kinetic friction, which is the force that resists the motion of two surfaces sliding against each other. The low coefficient of friction between the icy road and the car's tires makes it easier for the car to skid.

How does friction affect shoes?

Low friction is slippery high friction has good traction. In the sport of Curling (gliding those heavy granite stones on ice towards a bullseye) one shoe has low friction (to slide on the ice) the other has high friction (to propel the player).


Why does Teflon have a low coefficient of friction?

Teflon has a low coefficient of friction because its molecular structure provides a smooth surface with weak intermolecular forces, reducing resistance to sliding. This allows objects to move more easily over a Teflon-coated surface with minimal friction.
