The smaller amount of friction a machine has, the more efficient it becomes.

How would life be without friction?

Without friction, it would be difficult to walk, drive, or hold objects in place. Machines would not work efficiently and sports would be very different. Overall, life would be more challenging and less predictable without friction.


What is impossible without friction?

Walking, running, or any form of movement on a surface would be extremely difficult without friction. Cars would have difficulty stopping or turning without friction between the tires and the road. In general, many everyday activities would be challenging without the presence of friction.


Can you drink from a glass without friction?

No, it's not possible to drink from a glass without any friction. Friction is necessary for your lips to grip the glass and create a seal to prevent spillage. Without friction, the glass would slip out of your hands or the liquid would spill.


How is friction beneficial and detrimental?

Although friction slows many things down, and makes machines less efficent, we would have a hard time if there was no friction. Your shoelaces would not stay tied- but that would not matter, since you could not walk if your feet had no friction with the ground- nor could you drive a car- which would be good, since the brakes would not work. You would probably starve since you could not pick up a drink, or food.


What will happen if friction will not be there on earth?

If there was no friction on Earth, objects would not be able to stay in place and would slide or float away. People would have difficulty walking or driving as there would be no traction. Machines and mechanisms that rely on friction to operate, such as brakes and gears, would not function properly.

NO friction


Why are tools and machines coated with greases?

The grease is there to lessen friction between two metal parts. Without grease the moving parts would heat up due to the friction.

Is friction usefull in playgrounds?

Friction is fascinating because in so many situations we try to reduce friction, but friction is a necessary force, without which everything would be impossible. Without friction we would all be flat on the floor without any methods of directing our motion. We would randomly collide with things and then continuing moving in another direction. Without friction the slide at the playground would be really fast, but you could never climb the ladder to get on it. The swings would be useless since no one could get into them. So friction is necessary for playgrounds.

Yes it would, thank God for rolling friction

Do you need friction for typing on a keyboard . why?

Because without friction, it would not be successful when typing!
