Question

Explain why do sportsmen use shoes with spikes? - GK Q&A

Answer 1

Spikes will provide larger frictional force than the normal shoes. The spikes will help in preventing the sports players from slipping on the ground. Hence sportsmen use shoes with spikes. Spikes increase the surface of the shoes & make it rough which results in an increase in friction. This helps to have more grip on the floor and chances to slip reduces.
