anything that has contact with the ground uses friction...pushing of the ground when running, batting, or throwing definitely uses friction. The grip on the ball when pitching and throwing has friction as well.

What type of friction occurs in softball?
Sliding friction occurs when the players feet rub against the ground and when the ball rubs against the dirt or grass. Fluid friction occurs when the ball hits your bat or when it hits your glove.
What is it called when you burn yourself while sliding in softball?
Friction burn
How is friction applied?
Friction is applied, by making the surface of whatever you want to slide across it (the thing you want to apply friction to) is really rough. You can inscrease, and decrease the amount of friction acting on an object by changing the texture, material and smoothness of the surface. Smoother surfaces don't apply much friction to objects, and rougher surfaces apply a lot. An example of this, is Wellington Boots. They have rough underneaths, so you don't fall over - they apply a lot of friction.
When does rolling friction apply?
When things are rolling.
What are principles of friction?
there is nothing called as principle of friction. friction is just a force which will act in the opposite direction of which you apply force.
How does each type of friction sliding rolling and liquid friction apply to gymnastics?
In many ways
If we apply oil on door hinges the friction will?
Reduces

Is rolling static and sliding friction apply in gymnastics?
Of course! Friction applies in gymnastics in TONS of ways.
How does friction apply to running?
It slows your speed down every time your feet touch the ground.
What forces apply to bobsledding?
gravity and friction along with inertia
What does the slope of a friction vs weight graph mean?
the slope is the coefficient of friction. look at the equation of the graph as apply it to any of the friction problems your teacher gave you.
