It basically depends. Everything or nothing can be good about friction. It creates heat, and you might not want it to, but you might want it too (for instance creating a fire). It also slows things down, and you might or might not want it to slow down. You might want neither. It all depends.

Why is friction a bad thing?

Friction isn't always bad, but when engineers try to avoid or reduce friction, it is because of the energy lost due to friction.


What are some situations where friction is good and some where friction is bad?

Friction is good in situations like walking or driving a car, where it provides traction to prevent slips and skids. Friction is bad in situations like mechanical parts rubbing together, where it can cause wear and heat generation, leading to inefficiency and potential damage.


What does friction usually do?

Friction slows things down.


What could happen if there is no friction in land?

Friction is what holds, stops things from moving. if there was no friction then things would be on the move 24/7.


How is friction good and bad?

Friction is good because it provides traction. Friction is necessary for people to stand, or for vehicles to accelerate or break. Friction can also be used to convert kinetic energy to heat or electrical energy. Friction can be bad because kinetic energy is can be lost to friction.


What are 3 facts about friction?

1) friction thats lows things down is called dynamic friction 2) friction that stops things is called static friction 3) most of friction makes heat ( rubbing hands together )


What are 3 bad things for friction?

High levels of friction can cause wear and tear on surfaces, leading to material degradation. Excessive friction can generate heat, which can be detrimental to the materials in contact and can even lead to fires. Friction can reduce efficiency in machines and systems by causing energy loss and reducing performance.

Why friction important to your daily living?

Friction is important because without friction we would be sliding and slipping everywhere as friction slows down and stops things. Friction occurs when two things touch or make contact.


Is friction always bad cite at least?

No friction is not always bad. In fact consider an example of running on wet floor. If there is too little friction it might cause you to slip and slide.
