Friction does affect the human body, for example when rubbing against rough surfaces can cause skin irritation or blisters. However, the body has adapted mechanisms, such as calluses and skin thickness, to minimize the effects of friction. Additionally, the body produces lubricants like sweat to help reduce friction between surfaces, such as between skin and clothing.

How does body oil and powder affect surface friction?

Body oil is a lubricant, so it diminishes friction. Body powder (I'm assuming you mean the kind that "dissolves" also creates this lubricant effect, unless it's particularly rough, which creates more friction.


Is the reason you get hot because of friction between the air and us?

No, the main reason we feel hot is because our body generates heat through metabolism, and our skin helps release this heat. Friction with the air has a minimal effect on our body temperature.


Which force needs to touch something to have an effect?

The force of friction needs to touch an object to have an effect. Friction occurs when two surfaces are in contact and one surface resists the motion of the other surface. It is this resistance that allows friction to have an effect on objects in contact.


What are the effect of friction on a body give at least 2 examples?

Friction reduces the speed of a moving body by opposing its motion. For example, friction between the tires of a car and the road slows down the car's acceleration. Friction between a book sliding on a table surface slows down its movement.


What is the coefficient of friction between a perfectly smooth body and a very rough body?

The coefficient of friction between a perfectly smooth body and a very rough body would be close to zero because a smooth body has no surface irregularities to create friction with the rough body. Friction occurs due to the interaction of surface irregularities, so if one surface is perfectly smooth, there would be minimal friction.
