What is an example of low friction?
An Ice skater skating on ice.
What are some examples of friction occurring in everyday life?
ice skating on ice ,is one friction occurring
What places need friction?
If you were roller-skating you don't need friction because it slows you down. Well you want friction between the wheels and the floor (so you do not slip sideways) but not between the wheel and the axel (thats why you have ball bearings there to reduce rolling friction). If you are ice skating you do not want friction between the blade of your skates and the ice.
Describe 3 examples where friction is useful?
Walking is an example of friction. when friction is formed you may slow down, but you may have a weak balance and fall to your height. friction can be used in many places, like themeparks and ice skating and even on the sole of your shoes.
Is friction is more on smooth surface?
Surface friction is defined as the resistance of an object experiences during motion. So, for the same object, a smooth surface has less friction than a rough surface. Think about skating on ice or a piece of plywood!
What is 1 example of low friction?
Ice skating is because you dont go fast and there is rarely any friction

Can you find things that have low friction?
ice skating
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.
When is high friction not useful?
In engines - during ice skating.
How does ice skating use energy?
Ice skating uses friction to make you move smoothly across the ice rink.Friction is in just about all movements.
When is friction useful when ice skating?
for slowing down, stopping etc
What is an example of friction on an object?
Let us go for an answer that you may not have thought of shall we? If you were skating on ice and you built up speed then stopped skating, eventually you would stop. Why? because ice has friction though very little. This friction works on the friction on the blades of your skates bringing you to a stop.

How is friction transferred from one place to another?
Friction is basically everywhere, but if there is a object in front of that it will automatically slow you down. Ex.when you are on an ice skating rink nothing can stop you because there is no friction at all. But when you are on a football field the object (grass) is in front of the friction it would slow you down more than it would when you are on an ice skating rink.
Why do you skate faster on ice than on the street?
because ice surface refers very less friction as compare to roads that is why skating is easy on ice surfaces
