What sports are friction useful and not useful for?

Friction is important for all sports.Without it it becomes really hard to accelerate or deaccelerate.For example a 100m sprinter.It would be great for him if there wasnt any air resistance (as long as he can breath).But he needs friction on the floor to push himself forward.however friction is less useful in hockey, skiing, and almost all types of boarding(snowboarding, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, sandboarding).


Which are the sports in which friction is not useful?

There is not a sport in which friction is not useful. In hockey, for example, there seems to be no need for friction. However, in order to get moving or stand at all, the players rely of the friction between their skates and the ice. The friction between their skates and the ice also creates a thin layer of water while they skate, allowing them to glide over the ice. even chess relies on friction so the pieces do not move off the board.


What is high in friction but is not useful?

Sandpaper is high in friction but is not considered useful in terms of being helpful in a general sense.

How is the friction involved in sledding and skiing?

Friction is involved in sledding and skiing as it helps to slow down and control the speed of the sled or skis. The amount of friction can be adjusted by the type of surface being traversed, the angle of descent, and the materials used on the sled or skis. Friction also helps provide traction and stability, allowing the rider to steer and maneuver effectively.

What useful friction?

You need friction to slow down or turn while skiing and ice skating. Auto braking during driving. Walking or the movement of the motor vehicle depends on friction or there will not be movement.

Which are the 2 friction forces that slow skiing down?

Air resistance and friction with the snow.


Why is friction not as useful in some winter sports?

Ice skating does not require any friction because the skater needs to glide on the ice and if there was any friction on ice the skater would have trouble to skate smoothly on the ice. That is why ice skating does not require any friction at all from my perspective.
