Skiing and Snowboarding (Skis rubbing against snow slows them down)
Skateboarding (Rolling friction, it's a matter of opinion if it supports or opposes them)
Swimming (fluid friction makes it harder for them to swim against it)
Those are just a few.

What would happen if a slide had high friction?
If a slide had high friction, it would not function well as a slide. Things would either slow down during their descent or would stop completely (if the coefficient of friction were sufficiently large).You would either stop in mid slide, burn your bottom,or shred the seat of your pants.
What instrument measures friction?
Friction is generally described as either sliding or rolling friction. You could devise any number of instruments to measure it. If you moved a given surface area (say a block) across another surface under pressure from above (say weight) then you could measure the force needed to accelerate the block to a certain velocity. You need a stopwatch, a spring balance (to measure force) and some maths. JCF
Does the elastic rebound cause earthquakes?
At a slip fault the plates on either side of the fault are under a force that impels them to move past each other, but restrained by friction and the interlocking of their shapes. These opposing forces distort the rocks of the plate edges near the fault, producing elastic deformation. When the strain becomes great enough to overcome static friction or to break the interlocking sections of rock, or when any shock occurs that jars the fault and allows it to start moving, the friction between the plates will be reduced to dynamic friction (for so long as the plates keep moving). Then elastic forces in the distorted rocks will cause them to spring suddenly back to their proper shapes, producing movement of the rocks either side of the fault, parallel to the fault, of sometimes several metres. This sideways movement releases a great deal of elastic potential energy, producing the S-waves of an earthquake. Elastic rebound caused a problem for seismologists monitoring underground nuclear tests before the Comprehensivve Test Ban Treaty came into effect. An explosion itself produces only P-waves, which ought to have allowed seismologist to tell underground explosions apart from earthquakes. But in practice the P-waves from the explosions could jar elastically-deformed faults into movement, which produced S-waves from the elastic rebound.
While loading silica gel in column for column purification large scale why does outer surface of the column become warm?
Assuming it isn't waste heat from the surroundings, friction is the likely source, either with the sides of the containing vessels or from the pressure of compaction.
What sport displays newton's first law of motion?
the first law is: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an outside force so all of them. -in golf, the golf ball will move when hit and stop only when gravity and friction make it happen. in this case the ball is at rest on the tee and will not move until struck by the club (acting as ouside force 1), at which poin it then flies out until the friction of the air and gravity's pull force it back down to the earth, at which point friction with the ground is then added which all conspire to slow the ball to a stop. -in foot ball, the players run with the ball until tackled by another player. in this case the two players are the opposing forces -in baseball the ball is thrown is moves toward the catcher until either the bat strickes it and it is sent elsewhere, or the catcher catches it and throws it back to the pitcher. in this case the ball is the object and the bat and pitcher are the outside forces acting on the ball to give it motion.
List some games where friction is either supporting or opposing the games?
in lego star wars there is a cheat that turns friction off called "ice ring"indiana jonesbatman
What is neutral relationship?
Basically a relationship thatis nothelping or supporting, either of two opposing sides
What type of friction is important for walking?
Well it is either static friction or rolling friction
How is friction either a push or a pull?
Friction acts in all directions.
What stops opposing players from scoring points in soccer?
Either the opposing strikers, mid fielders, defendants, or goalies.
Why does the feather and the hammer land at the same time on the moon and diffrent times on the earth?
Because the moon has essentially no atmosphere, there would be no drag on the feather when it falls. On earth, it would be quite a different matter. The significant surface area of the feather means that as it falls, the friction of the air on it provides significant opposing force to it as it falls. In the case of a falling hammer, the opposing force of air friction on the hammer is negligible compared to the force of gravity on it since the hammer is much heavier than the feather. Since there would be no drag on either item when dropped on the moon, the only force acting on either would be gravity and their acceleration would be only that of gravity with no opposing force to slow them down as they fell.
Friction between two flat surfaces is distinguished as being either static friction or?
kinetic
The focus of debate is called the resolution a that can be either supported or opposed?
by the participants. The resolution is a statement that presents the topic or issue being discussed, and the participants must take a stance either in favor (supporting) or against (opposing) it. This allows for a structured and focused debate where arguments can be presented and defended on both sides.
Friction between two flats surfaces can be divided into two categories what are the two most common kinds of friction?
The friction felt between two flat surfaces can either be sliding friction or static friction.
Write a brief statement either supporting or opposing President Monroe's major actions regarding foreign policy Use specific examples to explain your answer?
President Monroe brought the country back to isolationism. This helped to create jobs and make the American people wealthier.
What are the sources of friction?
Friction occurs because of the interactions between two surfaces that are in contact. When either of the surfaces experiences motion, its friction that resists the same. Wheels moving on a surface will produce friction.
How can sports either support or impede nation building?
A good sports team can help to build a nation. It gives the people something to support and brings them together.
