What i think is, as there is less friction on a muddy road it is difficult to walk on it.

Water has less friction, that is why usually we see cautions warning us not to walk on wet floor as we'll slip and fall, so when soil is in contact with water it reduces the friction of soil.

Do snowshoes increase the amount of force you exert on the snow when you wear them?

No, snowshoes help distribute your weight over a larger area, which decreases the amount of pressure you exert on the snow. This prevents you from sinking deep into the snow, making it easier to walk on top of it.


Why is difficult to walk on ice or sand?

It's difficult to walk on ice because the lack of friction between the ice and your shoes makes it easy to slip. Walking on sand is challenging because the loose granules shift under your weight, requiring more effort to maintain balance and move forward.


Why is it difficult to walk barefoot on sand?

It is hard to walk on sand as - first we need to understand how we walk. every action has an equal opposite reaction (i.e. when we walk on earth we put a certain amount of force on the ground that reverts that force back on us) but when we walk on sand it is not hard and soft we fall into it and it doesn't give us and EQUAL opposite reaction.


Why it difficult to walk on a slippery road?

Walking on a slippery road is difficult because there is reduced friction between your shoes and the surface, making it challenging to gain traction and maintain your balance. This can cause you to slip and fall, increasing the risk of injury. Your muscles have to work harder to stabilize your body, making walking on a slippery road more strenuous.


What might happen if you tried to walk across the room and there was no friction?

If you tried to walk across a room with no friction, you would likely slide or glide instead of walking normally. This is because friction is what allows us to push off the ground and move forward when we walk. Without friction, it would be difficult to generate the necessary force to propel yourself forward, making it challenging to walk in a controlled manner.
